Summary
A beautiful young woman returns to war-torn Baghdad and has to confront a harsh reality and shattered dreams. Fatima is an intimate film that tackles how sensitive human being react to the ominous reality of war and destruction. Using a poetic approach, the film subtly brings the viewer into the psyche of the main character, a 26 year old woman who returns to Baghdad to reunite with her family and fiancee, and to follow her dream of becoming a childcare specialist. Tensions progressively escalate as she finds the city and her family deeply affected by the violence. Her fiancee?s tragic death sends her into a spiral of grief and desperation that take her to a final decision by the Tigris river. In face of the absolute lack of hope, will she choose life or death?
