Maysa
“A quiet visit forces Maysa and her stoic Iraqi mother to confront what’s long been left unspoken”
Synopsis
Maysa unfolds over a single afternoon as a young woman and her stoic middle eastern mother navigate the quiet tension of a long-held silence. As memories of migration and girlhood surface in fractured flashbacks, their unspoken history begins to unravel. A tender, restrained portrait of love, resilience, and the things women carry - even when they no longer have to.
