The Adani film “The Exhausted” by Adani director Amr Gamal will be screened today at the “Mostra De” hall, which specializes in showing cinematic films in the Spanish city of Barcelona.
The film deals with real events in Aden, Yemen, in 2019, as the story follows the suffering of a couple and their three children after the father and mother lose their jobs due to the country’s difficult economic conditions, and after the mother discovers that she is pregnant with her fourth child, the parents try to find a way to have an abortion despite their society’s conservative stance towards this. This forces the family to make difficult decisions to escape this predicament.
