Two siblings process their grief after the loss of their father and question if their already strained relationship can be saved. In a bereavement counsellor’s office, Noura and Faiz begin to unpack years of anger and conflict that, after the death of their father, has led them down a path of accusation and guilt. Writer and director Mohammedally Shushtari explores the role that therapy can play in diasporic Arab culture. In this unfamiliar environment the two siblings are confronted with each other, and their hidden feelings and truths. They must use their words to find a path back to one another, or risk a second, heartbreaking loss.

In this episode, Mohammedally discusses the inspirations and influences behind the film and more.
