Overview

How Shall We Greet the Sun is a lyrical and emotionally rich documentary that weaves together two deeply personal sets of memories: those of a friend living in a refugee camp, and those of the filmmaker's own mother back in Yemen. Through this intimate double portrait, the film contemplates how women carry the weight of joy and loss across displacement, and how the collision of past and present creates a kind of emotional exile — a longing for a home that no longer exists in the same form. Delicate and profound, the film honors the inner lives of migrant women and asks how we hold onto who we are when the world we belonged to has been irreversibly transformed.
