Not to Be, is a 2025 Syrian movie, directed by Nawar Smaan, and starring Raja burjas, morhaf alasadi, sami aboudeeb. with a runtime of 14 minutes.
Not to Be is a short drama centring on a young man drifting through his days on autopilot, indifferent to the world around him as he moves between home and work in a state of emotional absence. A sudden incident at the workplace cracks open his numbness, forcing him to confront memories of ambitions and feelings he quietly abandoned in his past. Compact and introspective, the film poses an existential question about what it means to live without truly existing — the thin line between routine and self-erasure. Not to Be is a thoughtful Arabic short that speaks to themes of alienation and the jolt of self-recognition that can arrive at the most unexpected moments.
