There’s a raw, almost gritty feel to the cinematography that stands out, making the cabin not just her workplace but a safe haven of sorts. The pacing is contemplative, allowing us to absorb her experiences and emotions. It’s fascinating how the highway transforms into a battlefield for her as she confronts societal norms and personal challenges. Meryem-Bahia Arfaoui’s direction lends a unique perspective, and Zina’s performance feels genuine, almost like a diary entry brought to life.
