"Make Me A Houri"

Two women have passed on. 

In order to reunite with her lover, Asmara wants to transform into a Houri, a virgin of paradise. Safia, a woman she encounters when she wakes up from punishment in the grave, assists her with endeavour. 

Make Me A Houri is a story of two women seeking to defy the external forces governing their bodies. It blends poetry, stylised physicality and unusual anecdotes to explore the relationship between the realms of the sensual and the spiritual, the mystical and the material.
