The Bride, based on a true story, tells the tale of a Christian teenager who marries an ISIS jihadist.
“The film is about the widows of Daesh [ISIS] fighters, what makes a girl of 16-years-old go and run away from home to the area of Daesh fighters, and what makes a European come to such a situation,” explained director Sergio Trefaut. “There is this kind of case in Portugal and people want to know what is in the head of those girls.”
The project is a boost to the Kurdistan Region’s own film industry as more than half the crew are locals.
