Little

Egypt
Producer: Nagham Osman
Production Company: Qudrat Pictures

Project Logline:

A mother and daughter come together through love and not by their blood ties. What more do we leave behind besides our memories and our impermanent bodies? I always thought I was the result of a great love story that took place many years ago between my mum and dad. But after 30 years, I realized I was only part of it. A story that reads into the mother-daughter relationship on a day-to-day basis in an Egyptian home. What happens when the mother forgets that she ever had a daughter? What happens when the daughter realizes that this woman isn't her mother? This is the film Little.
