Weaning
On a cold Syrian night, as the families of Abu Khalil and Abu Karam engage in heated discussions about the meaning of identity, homeland, and belonging, the mother (Inanna) lives in her own world, experiencing denial and detachment as the death of one of her sons draws near, desperately trying to postpone it. This independent film, produced by the artist Hussam Hammo, is inspired by the ancient Sumerian myth (the myth of the descent of Inanna – the Great Syrian Mother). It is an attempt to revive heritage and reconstruct this myth through elements connected to lived Syrian reality, an attempt to hear the voices of our mothers and see reality through their eyes.
