Description:
Fatima is a unique dramatic film shot in Baghdad amidst the war, featuring an all-Iraqi cast with a Palestinian lead actress. A beautiful young woman returns to Baghdad from abroad after the fall of Saddam Hussein to confront a harsh reality and shattered dreams.
Fatima is a psychological film that tackles the devastating effects of war on civilians, families and women. Shot on location, the film captures the raw reality and strong emotions that unfold in situations where violence prevails and the social and moral fabric deteriorates.
Set against this gloomy background, Fatima is a life-affirming film that highlights the importance of maintaining ethical standards in chaos. It is a film about love, choice and fate.
