🎬 Title: Roqia / رقية

Story: Roqia weaves together two intertwining narratives. In the current timeline, a devoted follower of an elderly Raqi (a Muslim exorcist) is increasingly anxious that his mentor’s growing dementia may lead to the emergence of sinister forces. Flashing back to 1992, after a traumatic car crash leaves him with amnesia, Ahmed finds himself back in his hometown, but everything feels foreign to him, including his wife and children. His youngest son, terrified by Ahmed’s bandaged face, is particularly disturbed, reflecting the fear and confusion in their shattered family.
