Director Mohamed Al- Daradji will be present for Q&A following the film

Synopsis

In 2003 Al-Daradji, after the liberation of Iraq from Saddam Hussein, travelled back to his homeland. There he found heartbreaking chaos with countless psychiatric patients.

In this film, made under very dangerous and threatening circumstances, he tells us the story of a young woman, Ahlaam. She ended up in an institution after her husband was dragged off violently from their wedding. When the institution is flattened by a bomb, she finds herself on the streets.

Here, she was in danger of succumbing to rapists and extortionists. In the meantime, with the aid of the Red Cross and a young doctor, her family is looking for the patients lost in this urban jungle.
