Layla, Ma Raison is a romantic drama that breathes cinematic life into one of the Arab world's most enduring love legends. Since childhood, the poet Qays and the beautiful Layla have shared a deep and unbreakable bond. But when Qays begins publicly proclaiming his love in verse — an act harshly condemned in their conservative tribal era — the two are torn apart by Layla's clan, who refuse to sanction their union. Undeterred, Qays grows ever more fervent in his declarations, earning the epithet "Majnoun" (the mad one). A timeless tale of love, poetic defiance, and social prohibition, the film reimagines the legendary Arabic romance of Qays and Layla with passion and poetic grandeur.
