Al Baraneya

Pregnant Amal lives together with her family in Al Baraneya, a village outside Cairo, surrounded by jasmine fields. Their chaotic yet loving way of life is disturbed when a landowner offers to buy their land. The pressure to sell divides the family and doubts begin to grow. When Amal’s cousin Rania visits from Cairo, she captivates Amal and her younger sisters with her modern lifestyle: Jeans, TikToks, and lively city stories. Amal starts to question life as it seems to have been laid out for her and dreams of city life start to sprout. Now that the potential sale of the land offers the prospect of a future in the city, their unquestioned existence starts to waver.
