Show Summary: We are facing a moral crime colored with white blood, a heinous crime in which two women exchange roles, one imprisoned in history, and the other imprisoned in eternity… and what rules between them is nothing but that instinct searching for the moment of awareness. We are facing a heinous moral crime in which two human selves exchange roles, each self imprisoning the other in its hell, the first became imprisoned in longing, and the second became imprisoned in yearning… and between longing and yearning, there lies the pleasure of awareness.

Director: Ahmad Rashed
Country: UAE
Show Summary: The Mamluk here lives an important turning point in his life, as he aspires to break the barrier of slavery in which he found himself, and its cloak began to stifle his dreams and ambitions. He resorts to using his mind and exploiting the critical conditions his country is going through and the thorny disputes between this and that, and contributes to solving a dilemma that the minister suffers from, which is how to deliver an important and special message. From here until the agreed upon date, the Mamluk remains in isolation. The ambitious Mamluk loves Zumurrud, so he sets her as a condition of reward after completing the task assigned to him. The walls of the dark isolation revolt as the message remains on the Mamluk’s head, and thus he lives his adventure amidst fear mixed with joy to obtain Zumurrud, the slave girl he loves, and places the minister’s message on his head to be deposited in an isolation through which he imagines the shape of his future life. He offers his head as a sacrifice for a love that debates him and the tickling of a lost authority in the folds of this eternal debate.
