Synopsis

Naima, a mute girl, loses her mother when she is young. Her father marries an unjust woman who hates her and curses her for any reason. Atris, the village elder, also hates her, while his son stalks her and flirts with her whenever he sees her. Hussein, the doctor whose father had a severe disagreement with Atris, arrives in the village. He meets Naima, takes pity on her, and takes her to work for him as a nurse. Then the villagers are surprised that she is pregnant. The doctor accuses her, and her family chases her, so Hussein tries to save her.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
