Fay lives in a cloistered apartment, which she can’t leave because her only obstacle to the outside world is her brother. She expresses all of her obsessions through painting, but when she orders a new paint palette, matters get complicated. Directed by Anas Ba-Tahaf and produced by Producer-Actor Hisham Fageeh, who also plays the protagonist along with Sofia Asir, Fay’s Palette is a robust film full of vitality, plunging us into an unspoken world that reveals, through a peculiar incident, familiar obsessions and repressed frustrations that we share with Fay.
