BARZAKH

Kenza Tazi
Morocco, France / 2^nd Fiction Short

Overlooking Tangier, facing Spain, stands a rock with ancient tombs carved into it that becomes the fragile threshold between two worlds. A silent Guardian observes this invisible passage where hopes rise before they sink. Between life and death, reality and elsewhere, this mystical place becomes the entryway to an uncertain world: one where dreams merge with fate.
