What happens
When Maryam Spoke Out (Arabic: لمّا حكيت مريم, romanized: Lamma hikyit maryam) is a 2001 Lebanese film directed by Assad Fouladkar and it is based on a true event that happened in Lebanon. It is a social story about a couple, Ziad and Maryam, who lead a happy marriage, except for the fact that after three years of marriage Maryam has still not had a baby. Her husband Ziad is compassionate and assures her, that he still loves her. Nonetheless, Maryam cannot escape the growing pressure from the family, especially from her mother-in-law. She reacts to it in her own way with a false pregnancy. The initial enthusiasm and care is quickly gone when it becomes clear they are not really expecting a baby. When Maryam Spoke Out is Fouladkar's first feature film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
