Curiosidades

Official submission of Somalia for the 'Best International Feature Film' category of the 94th Academy Awards in 2022.

Somalia is a very poor country for many reasons, hence the required operation for the gravediggers wife is at least the equivalent of 4 years wages, more if he earns beneath the average wage - so it could be equivalent to a decades work or buying say six camels.

The Writer / Director appears himself in the movie as the construction site boss.

Perhaps surprisingly the Gravediggers Wife is played by Yasmine Warsame, an internationally famous Canadian actress and activist (of Somali origin).
