- Cinema Kawakeb follows a filmmaker's efforts to document the decline of a decaying cinema in Amman, Jordan. Through the stories of the cinema's last two employees and its only loyal customer, a homeless scrap collector with a passion for classic Indian films, the film becomes a meditation on loss, memory, and conflict. As the cinema's demolition looms, the film delves into the roots of its demise, identifying tensions ranging from a family feud to regional and global power struggles.
