Plagued with guilt after an unintentional accident, Mona, a retired Sudanese singer struggles to make amends by offering employment to a victim of her crime. But keeping secrets proves harder than expected as she navigates a tense marriage and new witnesses come to bear. Set against the backdrop of political unrest in Sudan, Goodbye Julia is a gorgeously-crafted and gut-wrenching tale of friendship, betrayal, and atonement for one’s sins. Part thriller, part domestic drama, the film functions as a morality play laden with themes intrinsic to the African continent but universal enough to capture our sympathies with deep emotional resonance. Winner of the Freedom Prize in Un Certain Regard at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
