Synopsis

Molokhia is a tender short film capturing a grandmother teaching her granddaughter to cook a traditional Lebanese dish. As the recipe unfolds, so do layers of memory, with subtle flashes of Lebanon’s civil war interrupting the quiet of the kitchen. Inspired by the filmmaker’s mother, Molokhia explores cultural inheritance, resilience, and the unseen ways history lingers in everyday rituals.
