Overview
Broken Root is a dramatic short film that probes the inner emotional world of Adham, a 10-year-old boy who experiences a profound sense of emptiness — visualized through the metaphor of a lone black tree stranded in a barren desert. Unable to articulate his pain verbally, Adham channels it into expressive drawings that he covers his bedroom walls with, yet no one pauses to notice his work. His room is full of colorful gift boxes, but material abundance only deepens his isolation, because what he truly seeks is to be seen and heard. The film is a quiet, poetic meditation on childhood loneliness and the failure of adults to recognize what children genuinely need.
