Overview

Mariam is a drama film that interweaves the stories of three women, each named Maryam, living in different historical periods but united by one inescapable reality: war. Each woman faces the conflict from a distinct angle — moral, social, and visceral — yet all three manage to survive with their humanity intact. The film is a meditation on female endurance across time and circumstance, asking what it means to hold on to identity and selfhood when the world around you is being destroyed. It is a quiet but powerful tribute to resilience in the face of the most brutal forces history has to offer.
