Fourteen-year-old Nidal is one of the 4.8 million Syrians who have been displaced by war. Born female, Nidal has identified as a boy since he was nine years old which coincided with their escape from Syria. As his body starts to mature, he is forced to navigate the complexity of his circumstances in the confines of a refugee camp and a culture that cannot comprehend gender fluidity.

An experimental short film that expresses a subjective experience during quarantine and was made as an attempt to find ourselves while living an ongoing semi-isolated life. Dream-like imagery reflects our thoughts and slow paced lifestyle, and connects our isolated reality to the seemingly distant world we see in the media – one where many women have spent their entire lives in a compulsory quarantine as a result of unfair social systems.
