A Human Story With A Sex Doll

 

Set on the outskirts of Baghdad, the film follows orphaned brothers As'ad and Taha, who make a living by scavenging through a massive garbage dump. Ironically named after the ancient Hanging Gardens of Babylon, this dump becomes the backdrop for their story.

As'ad makes a surprising discovery one day—a discarded Sex Doll in a star-spangled bikini, a relic from the American invasion. He names her Salwah and cleans her up. To his astonishment, he realizes she can speak.

As'ad's friend Amir sees an opportunity in Salwah and suggests renting her to locals. As'ad agrees reluctantly, imposing strict rules. However, the Sex Doll goes missing, leading to unexpected challenges.

 

Ahmed Yassin, from his Facebook profile:
“I am extremely honored and proud after the official announcement by the Department of Cinema and Theater that our film ‘Hanging Gardens’ was chosen to represent Iraq at the Oscars. This journey was a struggle full of love, a collaboration between exceptional talents, and a testimony to the power of the art of narrative. Our film will represent the richness of Iraqi cinema, and hopefully it will resonate with the global audience.”
