Overview

Al-Jadah (The Youngest Son) is a Kuwaiti dramatic film that takes its title from a colloquial Gulf term referring to the youngest son in a family — a child traditionally doted on and held especially dear. The story centers on a Kuwaiti family's youngest boy who is called away to war, and the silence and uncertainty that descends on his loved ones when news of him stops coming. The film tenderly examines the emotional toll of war on Gulf families — the waiting, the not knowing, and the hollow ache of absence. Rooted in authentic Kuwaiti cultural context, Al-Jadah is a quiet, affecting human drama about love, family bonds, and the wounds that conflict leaves behind long after the fighting ends.
