*Parental Guidance is Suggested*

• Unsaid: When a young woman arrives alone at a cabin in the woods, she meets a partner from her past and they spend one last day together.

• NYA: Taking place in Algerian suburbia in 1994, the story revolves around Anya — a seven-year-old girl who blissfully experiences her childhood without being aware of the turmoil caused by the civil war engulfing her country.

• Skin of Water: Through abstract and symbolic imagery, 'Skin of Water' hauntingly delves into an Iranian father, Amir, and the echo of his memories. The film reveals his turbulent journey through grief, guilt, and obsession, as he confronts his role alongside that of a mesmerising butterfly, unraveling how both contributed to the tragic death of his son, Ehsan.

• The Last Message: In a powerful exploration of familial bonds, a mother uncovers her son’s hidden struggles and the devastating effects of miscommunication when she learns of his suicide attempt.

• The Father, Probably: Set in a poor Mauritanian village, a girl becomes involved in a mysterious accident with no witnesses. However, her parents, particularly her father, respond more casually than she expects.

• Sabr O Shukr: 10 year old Akram wants a cycle, what follows is his first encounter with patience and gratitude.
