    • Synopsis
    • Hala lives in fear of being abandoned since her father passed away when she was 18. She suffers post-natal depression and tries to commit suicide several times but she never goes through with it, she always leaves a little room for someone to rescue her.
      Now her loving husband, who always rescued her from her suicidal thoughts, is facing a trial for a simple mistake at work. Hala is left alone with her depression, her thoughts and a 6-month-old daughter. Despite her mental fragility, she needs to find a way to change in order to carry out her duties as a mother and a good wife to her jailed husband. The main difficulty is how to face herself, her fears and her depression now that she has no one to lean on and no moral support, and at the same time, face the reality she lives in, that also includes her husband and daughter.
