Flytrap

Flytrap follows Sara, 24, in a women’s psychiatric ward in Cairo where she is emotionally withdrawn and desperate to regain control. Inside the ward, daily life unfolds in repetitive cycles of therapy sessions, meals, and strict routines shared among women from vastly different backgrounds and generations, each navigating their own coping mechanisms through humor, denial, faith, fantasy, and rebellion. Sara isolates herself through obsessive journaling, regimented exercise, and careful emotional distance from the other patients. However, the ward’s confined intimacy makes detachment nearly impossible. Through her interactions with others — particularly the spontaneous and irreverent Rahma (35) andthe observant and quietly tender Nada (20) — Sara is gradually pulled into the emotional ecosystem of the ward. Moments of humor, conflict, and unexpected solidarity begin to disrupt Sara’s rigid self-discipline. As the women confront their fears, beliefs, and desires within the claustrophobic yet strangely communal environment, Sara finds herself forced to renegotiate her relationship with control, vulnerability and survival. On her birthday, surrounded by women she never expected to rely on, Sara ex- periences a quiet emotional shift, realizing that survival inside confinement may come from surrendering control rather than tightening it. Set entirely within the ward, Flytrap is an intimate ensemble portrait that explores how survival and connection can coexist in spaces designed to contain and discipline. Meer... Minder
