Gaya Jiji : 2018
My Favourite Fabric
Damascus, Spring 2011. In the midst of the rumblings of revolution, Nahla, a young woman of 25, is torn between her desire for freedom and her hopes of leaving the country through an arranged marriage with Samir, a Syrian who has emigrated to the United States. However, Samir prefers her younger and more docile sister, Myriam. Consequently, Nahla grows closer to her new neighbour, Madame Jiji, who has just moved into her building in order to open a brothel. A film about a woman's search for her identity in a society where one is deprived of everything: the freedom of expression, the freedom to do what you want, even the right to dream. Gaya Jiji's feature debut premiered in competition in the Un Certain Regard section at Festival de Cannes 2018.
