On a rainy autumn night, Adem knocks on Eva’s door. If for her he is just another client, he hasn’t come empty-handed. As the night unfolds, memories resurface and overwhelm him, yet some wounds never fade without leaving their mark.

Wael KHATIM

biography

Actor and screenwriter, trained at École Kourtrajmé, I am drawn to the shadowed corners of humanity. The red line is my material: the hidden impulses, paradoxes, and vulnerabilities that define us. I like to believe that catharsis (or at least its consequences) drives my art.
