Where Have You Been?

A young artist in his twenties abandons his family, refusing to submit to social constraints. Depressed, lonely, and stuck in his small, derelict studio flat, he stumbles upon his elderly neighbor — a woman neglected by her family and in need of intimacy. Despite their differences, the two develop an unlikely connection through their shared experiences of hardship and love of music.

Directed by Mohammad Gotta, Where Have You Been? leans on a strong ensemble — Faris Al Bahri, Reem Saadeh — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
