A girl-animal rifles through her past, caught by a college-owned, borrowed Digital Single-Lens Reflex camera. She reminisces about the phantomes of her past, the angelic form of anorexia, the stiffling shadow of perfection, the oppressing, pungent mist of control: a fragmented vision, captured in interviews. Spectres of her long-forgotten childhood litter the film 'reel'. Voices for the people who knew her.
A desaturated marine vista flashes in pieces, the simlacrum of a dress, a gutted, bleeding, rearranged orange. The sequences pockmarked by the girl-animal's face.

Between the sea and dreams is a personal journey through memory, identity, and creativity. Through a continuous monologue spoken in Arabic, mixing old footage and quiet moments, the film explores what it means to belong home when home is scattered across different places. Shot in sepia with a nostalgic, grainy texture, it reflects on finding identity beyond borders and paperwork. Creativity becomes both an escape and a way to piece together a fragmented sense of self. Blending documentary and storytelling styles, Between the Sea and Dreams is a poetic process, one shaped by place, language, and the creative act itself.
