STRANGE FRUIT

Amid the turmoil of the COVID-19 pandemic, Zaida turns her home into a sanctuary—a refuge for herself and five other women fleeing domestic violence: Julia, Michelle, Eve, Maria, and Amel. What begins as a safe haven soon becomes a pressure cooker of unresolved traumas and simmering tensions. Stranded in lockdown, the women must navigate a precarious coexistence, each grappling with her own inner battles while trying to maintain the delicate balance of their shared sanctuary. The fragile peace is shattered when a mysterious visitor arrives at their door, sparking a fervent debate. Should they offer compassion to a stranger in need or protect their haven from potential danger? As fear and mistrust take hold, the situation exposes deeper fractures within the group, challenging the bonds they’ve worked so hard to forge. “Strange Fruit in Lockdown” is a gripping exploration of human resilience, trust, and the fine line between survival and compassion. It delves into the psychological toll of isolation and trauma, offering a poignant look at the strength—and fragility—of the human spirit in times of crisis.
