As the synopsis goes: Mendeel Um A7mad (NxIxSxM) presents the tissue box as an unlikely Kuwaiti national icon in a film that aims to create a representation of the "chai dhaha" ritual, a traditional female forum, using an all-male cast in homage to Abdul Aziz Al-Nimish, an actor who pioneered gender role reversal in Kuwaiti theater.
In Mendeel Um A7mad (NxIxSxM), the chai dhaha ritual is set out-of-context, in a giant wedding ballroom, illustrating the absurd spatial conditions of post-oil-boom Kuwaiti interior aesthetics.
I personally enjoy the witty re-enactment/ simulation of a private/ intimate conversation of people and how it raises thoughts on issues. I've always been quite curious about Fatima Al Qadiri ever since seeing her on Stylelikeu, and this is a great artistic endeavour on her part.
