Shadi
The last call for the flight to Stockholm is announced over the speakers. Shadi stands outside the gate and holds her mothers skirt as tight as she can. The mother caresses Shadis braided hair, and then tears her fingers apart from her daughter, and a man forces Shadi onto the plane. Shadi is eleven years old and all alone on her way to an unknown world. She ends up at an orphanage for unaccompanied children in Stockholm. But flashbacks from the war and nightmares make it hard for Shadi to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. The only thing she wants is to be with her mother again. And so one night she hears her mothers voice in the hall.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a fragile inner world, relying on the child's subjective perception and fragmented memories. It explores trauma not through direct images of war, but through its echo in a consciousness that blurs all lines between safe shelter and past horror.
What lingers after viewing is a quiet, aching void and a profound sense of the cost paid by the most vulnerable. The film's power lies in its poetic, painful immersion. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Zanyar Adami
