The Last Words

Directed by Mohamed Ahed Bensouda

With Naima Ilyas, Ibtissam Laaroussi, Hicham El Ouali, Bouchra Ahrich and Nabil Atif

Nadia decided to end her life, so she climbed onto the roof of the psychiatric hospital where she’d been receiving treatment and threatened to jump if anyone approached—she had nothing left to lose. Hospital staff rushed to dissuade her, and Dr. Ibtisam faced the challenge of convincing this woman in her sixties, engulfed in despair, to step back from this dangerous brink. Drawing on all her experience, Dr. Ibtisam worked to restore Nadia’s trust and encourage her to open her heart and share her story.
