“The Lights of Aden” tells the story of an abortion in Yemen, but we quickly understand that it is much more than that. Yemeni director Amr Gamal takes us through the streets of this port city as well as through the layers of a society in full decline.
Without forgetting the internal tremor of a country shaken by a civil war which shakes men and women as much as their religious, political and human values. Watching a film shot in Yemen is a rare opportunity where every detail surprises and dazzles.
