‘Sa3oud Wainah’ by Mohammed Al-Ibrahim is a mystery thriller about a magic trick gone wrong between two brothers, Hamood and Sa3oud, where Sa3oud disappears but doesn't reappear. As a series of strange events unfold at their farmhouse, the film explores whether it's a prank or something more sinister.
On a casual night out at the farmhouse, Hamood and his prankster brother Sa3oud perform a magic trick to an audience of friends. Hamood is successful in making Sa3oud disappear, but not reappear, and everyone ponders…Sa3oud wainah? A series of eerie events begins to unfold when a strange character appears at the farmhouse. The question becomes, is all of this a well-thought-out elaborate prank, or is it a series of unfortunate events?
