A Sudden Violent Burst of Rain

Event Description

by Sami Ibrahim
Directed by Sophia Treanor

In a land where myth and reality intertwine, undocumented immigrant Elif spends her days shearing sheep, each tuft of wool floating skyward to form rainclouds over a distant, wealthy city. When she becomes a mother, she travels to the capital seeking citizenship for her child, only to confront an unforgiving bureaucracy built to keep her out. At its heart, it is a powerful story of a mother determined to reshape the future for the child she loves.
