Naima

The film portrays the events surrounding the wedding of a young man in a popular alley in the Adhamiya neighborhood, and the ironic, laugh-out-loud comedic situations he encounters, as he is surprised by a series of incidents that grow more frequent and intense on the wedding day itself.

The first Iraqi film influenced by the Italian neorealism film movement, characterized by stories set amongst the poor and the working class. The plot revolves around a devoted husband deeply in love with his ailing wife, rushing her to the hospital in the late hours of the night. Seeking urgent medical attention, he pleads with the on-call doctor to treat her. However, faced with a negative response from the doctor, the husband, overcome with anger and desperation, unleashes a furious attack, tragically leading to the doctor's demise.
