Synopsis:
Three years have passed since Amatilla's death, yet her presence lingers in fragments of memory and silence. A Yemenite grandson journals, not to resolve grief, but to inhabit it, to write as though each line from the past and present might return buried feelings. Amatilla unfolds as a quiet dialogue across absence, where the act of remembering becomes love and connection with the self again. Directed by Adham Garman, the experimental film carries the intimacy of a diary and the distance of exile, a meditation on loss, migration, and the traces of love and hope that remain after loss.
