Overview

Fourteen-year-old Muna wants nothing more than to stay in school, but her dreams are crushed by her village’s rigid tradition of forced early marriage. She turns to her teacher for help, only to be dismissed by the villagers, who ask what use an education could possibly be. In the end, the wedding proceeds, and her dream seems to fade with no way out.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A brief, devastating portrait of a girl's agency stripped away by entrenched tradition, told with quiet intensity. The weight of that loss settles in as institutional indifference and cultural custom conspire to end her aspirations before they begin.
