Thank you for banking with us

Laila Abbas's debut feature is a sharp, darkly humorous exploration of sisterhood and resistance against patriarchal norms.

In Ramallah, estranged sisters Mariam and Noura reunite after their father's death leaves a substantial sum in the bank. Under Islamic inheritance law, their absentee brother is entitled to a larger share. Determined to claim what they believe is rightfully theirs, the sisters embark on a tense, overnight mission to secure the funds before the authorities are notified. ​

The film has garnered critical acclaim, winning the El Gouna Star for the Best Arab Film and earning nominations at the Critics Awards for Arab Films.

Thank You for Banking with Us! offers a compelling look at contemporary struggles for gender equality in the Arab world.
