Miracle of Grace
A family’s cycle of abuse threatens to tear them apart, but when a father confronts his past and seeks redemption, he must find the courage to break the pattern and save his son from a fate he once endured.
Tone and Style
- Raw and emotionally honest, capturing the tension of family trauma without romanticizing it.
- Unflinching yet hopeful, threading pain with the possibility of healing through personal growth and faith.
- Naturalistic in dialogue and setting, evoking realism with a cinematic touch that’s grounded in intimate moments and symbolic visuals (e.g., water, prayer, Eid moon).
