Cochlea is a short film that delves into the complex emotional landscape between a divorced Arab mother and her adult son. When the two reunite, the mother insists on washing her son in a gesture that is at once tender and overwhelming, forcing him to confront the weight of her love and the boundaries it crosses. The film examines how maternal affection, shaped by longing, separation, and cultural expectations, can feel both comforting and suffocating. With restraint and emotional precision, Cochlea unpacks the unspoken dynamics that define parent-child relationships in Arab families, exploring what it means to be loved in ways that do not always feel liberating.
