The first film from Jordan
ever selected for the Cannes Film Festival, Inshallah
a Boy follows Nawal, who is struggling to cope after the sudden death of
her husband. However, her pain is soon compounded by the possibility of losing
her home to her brother-in-law. Desperate to keep her home and provide a stable
life for her daughter, Nawal resorts to deception by faking a pregnancy. But as
time passes, the lie becomes harder to sustain and Nawal faces a difficult
choice. With only three weeks to find a solution, Nawal embarks on a journey that
challenges her fears, beliefs, and morality, as she fights to secure her
rightful inheritance and protect her daughter’s future. (Jordan, 2023, 113 mins,
