Z falls for the moon in this queer twist on the famous Myth of Sisyphus.

Mona, a young woman in London, finds archived photographs of Arab women cross-dressing in the 1920s. Somewhere between her fantasies and reality, she starts a feverish journey of uncovering lost histories and her own identity.

Mrs El Araby is a short experimental film that explores the restricted space within which Arab women are allowed to exist in western media.
