Nostalgia
Between the smell of rain, the sound of the dawn prayer, and an old song that passes by chance, nostalgia takes us without asking to places, people, and old versions of ourselves. In this poetic episode of Abjoura, we delve into nostalgia as a human emotion and understand its psychological and cultural roots, and how it transformed from a “syndrome” into a universal feeling that touches everyone. From childhood and memory, to music, cities, and travel, all the way to the journey of nostalgia and returning to places that shaped us, not to live in the past, but to reconcile with it, and understand ourselves more... An episode about longing for what has passed, gratitude for what was, and longing for what is gone forever. | A great team worked on this episode: Lubna Al-Khamis, Dania Musa, Abdullah Al-Balawi, Faisal Kharmi, Hisham Al-Adini, and produced by Bicycle House.
