isleen


Being "different" in Kafr Aqab, a place that is considered very conservative in its traditions, is not an easy thing at all, especially for a female. Isleen's way of life is not considered to be normal, it is not tolerable by society and most of the time it can also create serious problems. Living here can lead you to a crossroad, you either live a life bound to the constraints that were imposed upon you, as a result you will lose yourself in all the mess around you. Or you pick yourself up from all the mess around you, and build your own world, and this is the path that Isleen chose. ISLEEN, is a story about a girl that chose to follow her dream despite all the barriers that society placed.
