Expectations Short Film by Nadia Fares
“Family isn't always what we inherit. Sometimes it's what we discover.”
It tells the story of two half-sisters, one raised in the U.A.E. and the other in the U.S., meeting for the first time when their father tries to unite them. Their conflicting expectations lead to an explosive sisterhood before they begin to overcome their cultural differences.
“Expectations” premiered at the International Gulf Festival in Dubai.
