Al-yazerli / اليازرلي

Director: Qais Al-Zubaidi

Stars: Abdallah Abbassi, Nadia Arsalan, Adnan Barakat, Mona Wassef

The film’s poetic, non-narrative structure simulates the fractured thoughts of a young boy who is forced to leave school and find work on the docks. Using minimal dialogue but evocative music and sounds, separate vignettes introduce characters the boy encounters in a single workday. The filmmaker explores the child’s vivid imaginary world while tangibly conveying the physical harshness and repressed sexuality of a life spent in poverty and manual labor. Based on a novella by Hanna Mina.
