Award-winning writer-director Haifaa Al Mansour returns with a suspenseful crime thriller, following one woman's journey for justice when the body of a teenage girl is discovered in the desert.
Award-winning writer-director and Tribeca alum Haifaa Al Mansour returns with a detective story that examines how society’s constraints on women complicate the concepts of victim and perpetrator — and how those complications redefine what justice looks like. When an unidentified young woman’s body is found abandoned in the desert outside of a small town, the investigation brings in amateur sleuth and true-crime podcast lover Noelle (actress Mila Al Zahrani) into the fold, whose drive to solve the mystery pulls her deeper into this twisty murder. Complicated by her own personal trauma, a complexity that is expertly portrayed by Al Zahrani, Noelle navigates the many roadblocks that stand in her way as she tries to solve the case. Entertaining and socially resonant, this suspenseful crime thriller will keep you guessing till the end.—Faridah Gbadamosi
