BAAB is a haunting psychological dark fantasy that unfolds through the fractured mind of a woman reeling from the sudden death of her twin sister. Plagued by tinnitus, she descends through grief as reality and imagination intertwine against the stark, untouched landscapes of the UAE’s northern mountains. Rooted in Arab folklore and told from a feminine perspective rarely explored in Gulf cinema, BAAB delves into identity, memory, and the unseen dimensions of loss. Supported by the UAE Ministry of Culture’s National Grant for Culture and Creativity, the film stands as a powerful reflection of the region’s evolving cinematic voice and its growing presence on the international stage.
