When Nawal’s husband dies, Jordan’s patriarchal laws mean that the widow risks losing her inheritance and property rights. Only the birth of a son can change her fate. This debut feature, shown at Cannes 2023 during the Semaine de la Critique and chosen as Jordan’s 2024 Oscar entry, is an unvarnished study of the injustices suffered by many women.
