Mother of the Unborn
Um ghayeb

Egypt, United Arab Emirates
The absolute truth lies in the notions of life and death...fertility indeed is the miracle of creation. But does it answer the question of happiness, or is it just an illusion?
Mother of the Unborn is a tale of a neglected world located in the remote land of Upper Egypt, told through the eyes of barren women yearning to conceive, and what happens when their dream becomes a job.
