The Weight of It All

As a kid, my friend warned me about Abou Kees, "The Bag Man", who might come for me if I peeked under my bed. Abou Kees was an old Arab folktale of an angry figure who came after mischievous children and took them away in his bag. What if the tale was just an imaginative take on a real person that people feared to approach? The type of person filled with explosive anger that's been bottled up for years. Is it possible to see ourselves in Abou Kees? The Weight of It All explores the recognition of collective trauma in everyone and within ourselves, under the rule of a broken world order. Who are the real mischievous children; the true reason behind the emergence of our inner monster?
