The primary source of in terms of the story itself came from a story my dad told me. As I never met my grandmother on my Egyptian side, I remain very inquisitive of her character and her relationship to my dad. Recently, he opened up about how when she passed away, his family had chosen to keep it a secret from him incase coming back to Egypt jeopardised his immigration process. He had not known the severity of her cancer diagnosis and learnt of her passing two months after she had gone, leaving him distraught as he mourned their close relationship. I took elements of his story and blended them with elements of my journey of connecting to my heritage, resulting in the idea for this film. I made this short in honour of my heritage and as a tribute to those who have struggled with their cultural identity as I have.
