Synopsis
Eid
Eid, a young Bedouin from Rahat, spends his nights in Skype calls with Dounia, a married Arab actress living in Paris. Dounia is both his audience and his muse for a play he is writing about his life. When his parents force him to marry a woman he doesn’t know, Eid fears he will not be able to complete his dream. Eid will try to change his fate, determine the ending of his play himself, and tell his story—even if no one is there to listen.
Origin
1896. Left behind in the family manor, young Mary plays hide and seek with the servant, Beth. But as the game unfolds, she realises Beth isn’t the only one searching for her… Something else is lurking in the dark. And it’s ready to play.
