Kassab, a writer from Western Sydney, has instilled her exploration of intimate relationships with a kind of simple profundity that renders it beautifully, timelessly and universally symbolic. It is as if the lovers, Amir and Jamila, are speaking to us, as if we are in the room with them, sharing their dreams and memories, examining the challenges they face – location, family, class, culture, conflicting desires – and dissecting the range of feelings that somehow consume us and colour every facet of life lived within the container of love. It is as if this story is in our blood.
