Burying Yasmeen is a touching and emotional drama about a man named Adan who embarks on a journey to bury his ex-wife Yasmeen who had passed away almost a year ago.
Adan, who is still deeply in love with Yasmeen, cannot let go of their past and wants to honor her memory by putting a ring on her finger, which she always wanted but never got. He travels from his home in Mexico to her family's home in the United States, where he meets Yasmeen's family and friends.
As Adan spends time with Yasmeen's loved ones, he begins to understand the issues that caused their separation and regrets his past actions. As he tries to make amends, he also uncovers some dark family secrets that he never knew about.
Burying Yasmeen is a poignant story about loss, love, and the importance of closure. The movie explores the complexities of relationships, the power of forgiveness, and the healing that can come from reconnecting with our past.
The movie stars Alejandro Nuñez, Kandis Fay, and Don Boyd and was directed by Basma Alsharif. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2020.
