Mond
Kurdwin Ayub / AT, 2024 / 93 min.
Sarah, a former martial arts fighter, sets off for Amman where she’s going to train three sisters in self-defence and resilience. The sisters are not really interested, and their super-rich family is harbouring secrets. Kurdwin Ayub’s second fiction feature is a tense parable about the position of women in the Middle East.
After losing a fight, martial arts fighter Sarah doesn’t know what to do with her life. On an impulse, she responds to an ad placed by a super-rich family in Amman, Jordan. They hire her to train three sisters in the martial arts.
