Fahad Al-Ghamdi

Cultural attitudes towards beauty standards are exhaustively unpacked in this delirious satire, about how hair dictates the social mobility of a put-upon caretaker and her intellectually challenged ward.

A sweepingly visual, intimately poetic film set against the tapestry of Saudi Arabia's extraordinary textures. THE LAMB is a hero's journey which tests the boundaries of family and tradition, along with the constitution of Faisal, an extraordinary young boy, who goes on a quest to save the soul he loves most in the world: his lamb.
