The filmmaker, by examining masculinity through the lens of vulnerabilities, repression, and gender role construction, encourages a profound revaluation of the male Arabic identity, advocating for a reconnection to the more primal, emotional, and sensitive sides of men’s nature. Masculinity is a new form of collective resistance, and individual solitude is an active or passive form of resisting societal norms or societal pressures.
