Overview

Baq'a The Open Valley is a Jordanian short drama that explores the layered identity of Abood, a second-generation Palestinian born in Jordan who struggles to reconcile his origins with his present reality. When his uncle returns from Canada carrying vivid memories of his youth as a refugee in the aftermath of the Naksa, those stories take root in Abood's imagination and leave him feeling profoundly lost in the streets of Amman. A chance encounter with a young Palestinian woman living in Jordan opens an unexpected conversation about belonging, homeland, and what it means to carry a national identity across generations and borders — a tender, introspective film about displacement and the search for self.
