Al Baraneya (2026)

Expecting her first child, Amal lives alongside her extended family in Al Baraneya, a quiet hamlet on Cairo’s outskirts, where the air carries the sweet scent of jasmine blossoms. Their home is a whirlwind of affectionate disorder—until a wealthy landowner arrives with an offer to buy their property. That single proposal splits the household down the middle, planting seeds of uncertainty in once-certain hearts. Then Amal’s city-bred cousin, Rania, sweeps in from Cairo, bringing with her the glitter of denim, endless scrolls of TikTok, and tales of neon-lit nights. For Amal and her younger sisters, Rania becomes a living glimpse of a world beyond the fields—a world that begins to feel like a promise. As the land sale teeters on the edge of reality, the family’s deep-rooted belief in their simple village existence starts to crack, and Amal finds herself caught between the life she’s always known and the future she’s just begun to imagine.
