Possessed by Djinn

The belief in demons, or "djinn", is a little-known aspect of Islamic culture. In a subjective investigation of this controversial topic the film follows the true story of Aya, a four-year-old Jordanian girl killed by her father who believed her to be possessed. Investigating this case the director finds herself on a journey in an obscure world of traditions and ritual. Disturbing, yet intriguing encounters along the way, with both djinn exorcists and the possessed, reveal the contradictions of her society and ultimately force her to confront the fears and demons of her own.
