A Thing That Never Happened
Baher lives with his family in an isolated haven when peace is disrupted by the arrival of a stranger which forces him to confront his past sins and inner guilt.
–
Baher lives in an isolated haven with his wife, Sanea, and their daughter, Ym. Their peace is shattered by the arrival of Ihab, bleeding on their front door. Baher is paralysed by fear, as he knows that Ihab, whom Baher murdered in his youth, is still alive. Meanwhile, Baher’s sleep is plagued with nightmares in which his past crimes come to confront him. Baher grows increasingly desperate to get rid of Ihab. Baher drowns Ihab, thinking the story is over. When Baher returns home, it becomes clear that his attempt to avoid facing up to his past has been in vain.
