Eye & Mermaid (2013)

Ten-year-old Hanan lives in a fishing village on the coast of the Arabian Peninsula. She has always wanted to join her father on his nighttime fishing trips, but he doesn't want her to come along. In the morning, he always returns with wonderful black pearls, but where do they come from? Does he harbour a secret? Hauntingly beautiful and brutally metaphorical, 'Eye and Mermaid' is an unsettling reminder that the lovely things in life may come at a hefty cost - one we are not prepared to acknowledge.
