Black Wings

description

Spanning two continents, BLACK WINGS is the story of Laila and Yasmeen, a mother and daughter, struggling to meet across the generations, cultures, and secrets that separate them. Their shared grief for the death of Yasmeen’s twin (Laila’s only son), as well as the common bond of unhappiness in their marriages, allows them to reconnect after seventeen years of frustration, anger and misunderstandings. Yasmeen’s reappraisal of and newfound compassion for her mother ultimately leads her to fly with her own two children to reconnect with family and places from her past in Pakistan. The trip yields answers to questions about her twin’s death and her family history, leaving Yasmeen with a new understanding and integration of herself and her divided worlds.
