The film follows Wahida, who is unable to make sense of her twin sister’s tragic death. Therefore, she is tortured by a haunting rhythm in her ears. The script is written by Al Khaja and Masoud Amralla Al Ali.

Rahman and Khaja attended the Cannes Film Market to promote their film ‘Baab.’ Where the virtual reality film ‘Le Musk,’ directed by the composer, had its world premiere.
Al Khaja remarked of the combination of ‘Baab’ and ‘Variety’: “It’s about the four stages of mourning. However it’s not as black-and-white as it seems. Because her sister is young, she [Wahida] builds a dream world to rationalize her sister’s death. They’re both the same. They have been together their entire lives. So, how do you proceed from there?” The film’s production will begin in March 2023.

Rahman was in Dubai to build up the Firdaus Studio as part of Expo 2020 Dubai. To coach the Firdaus Orchestra, an all-woman ensemble of 50 musicians from 23 Arab countries.
