ABU RAMI.webm

65-year-old Mona is frustrated by her miserable taxi-driver husband Abu Rami and is plagued with doubts about his fidelity. As they drive across Lebanon to visit their son, the old car breaks down and the old couple is stranded. Tensions rise and Mona confronts Abu Rami with her suspicions. Overcome by guilt he confesses to living a double life she doesn’t expect. Devastated, Mona leaves him, but not before shattering his world with a secret of her own. LOGLINE: Sometimes the truth can set you free. Country of Production: Lebanon “In Abu Rami, Sabah Haider unveils the strength of the Arab woman. Filmmaker Sabah Haider is a talent to watch. While Abu Rami is a short film ... it packs a punch ... way beyond its duration. Abu Rami explains the importance of children in the Arab world, the heft of being someone's father, but also the force of character of women throughout the Middle East. And how far that all is from the typical headlines and misguided articles we read daily in our western media.” — E.
