The film is inspired by my family history and follows Sinoun, a mother who feels homeless, guilty, and overwhelmed as her family falls apart. Her struggle reflects my childhood after my father left, when my mother worked tirelessly to support us. A key memory-the theft of our apartment's metal door, later found hidden by a neighbor-became central to the story. This event echoes the pain of discovering my eldest brother grew up apart from us. The film explores home, trust, belonging, and how poverty and authority fracture families and communities.
