Plot
An arranged marriage in a cotton-farming village in Sudan. Does 15-year-old Nafisa have a choice?
Sinekatalog’s take
A short Sudanese drama about a very young girl facing an arranged marriage in a cotton-farming village. It is restrained and pointed, using the rural setting to ask hard questions about choice. A compact, thought-provoking watch.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
