Riverbed is a powerful dramatic film that unfolds through the strained reunion of Salma and her daughter Thuraya. Salma survived years of hardship by severing all emotional attachments — including her own child. But when Thuraya returns, defeated, divorced, and pregnant, the two women are forced to reckon with the painful history between them. The film traces their tentative, often combative attempts to reconstruct a mother-daughter bond fractured by years of separation and mutual hurt. With emotional restraint and psychological depth, Riverbed explores the difficult terrain of reconciliation, dependence, and what it truly means to let someone back into your life after you've learned to live without them.
