WWIFF 2026 Special Screening
Wafa is one of thousands of Syrians who have spent years not knowing what happened to someone they love, and that shared reality gives this story a reach far beyond the personal. Maybe Tomorrow follows Wafa with intimacy and emotional clarity as she navigates the weight of absence, refusing to let her father's story be forgotten. At once a deeply personal act of love and a quiet form of resistance, the film is rooted in the everyday reality of carrying on when closure feels impossibly out of reach.
