When twelve-year-old Adam decides never to grow up, those he loves are forced to face the relentless passage of time without him.
Director's Statement
As someone who grew up in Iraq, I understand childhood based on my own experience: war and a number of unfulfilled wishes. As a human being, I understand that childhood is a time of constant confrontation with the world of adulthood, and what is in between is what I examine in Songs Of Adam.
