Title A Sin with Preemptive Forgiveness
Maram Imran, 27 years old, is a journalist living with her mother, Jihan, in the city of Damascus after her father’s passing. She works as an editor at a radio station.

Since childhood, Maram has suffered from strange nightmares in which she sees people she has never met in her life. At the age of ten, she began experiencing epileptic seizures that continued intermittently.

Maram aspires to launch her own podcast, but her mother’s death due to cancer complications plunges her into depression, stripping her of any desire to write.

One day, Maram enters her mother’s room intending to browse through old family photos. By chance, she finds an old school sketchbook that appears to belong to a talented child no older than six. As she flips through the pages, filled with drawings of rural landscapes sketched with colored pencils and wax crayons, she suddenly feels a tightness in her chest without understanding why—until she comes across a particular drawing. It depicts a living room with a woman’s bloodied corpse in the center.

This eerie illustration triggers a vision in Maram—a murder scene identical to the drawing, as if she had witnessed it firsthand.

Seeking answers, Maram consults her friend, the young psychiatrist Jad, who subjects her to a hypnosis session using modern scientific techniques. Under hypnosis, she enters the depths of her subconscious mind, finding herself behind the wheel of a car, approaching the edge of a cliff, about to plunge into a valley below.

Maram asks Jad to intensify the hypnosis sessions, pushing her deeper into a state of unconsciousness, leading her to a battle with her repressed memories in an attempt to piece together the scattered images haunting her mind. Eventually, she discovers that she holds within her consciousness the memories of a visual artist named Zeina Al-Wali, who was murdered thirty years ago in a staged car accident after witnessing a horrific crime committed by her husband, Jamal.

Determined to verify the truth behind her vision, Maram embarks on an investigative journey with Jad’s help. However, she fails to provide any tangible evidence to support her claims, leading her to accept Jad’s analysis—that her visions are nothing more than false memories crafted by her cinematic imagination.

But when a crucial piece of physical evidence emerges, confirming her suspicions, Maram is drawn back into the case. As she delves deeper, she uncovers a terrifying truth that shakes her to the core, compelling her to write her story as a screenplay—her ultimate goal being to submit it to a competition and expose the criminal still at large.

However, when the murderer finally confesses, his revelation turns the tables, altering the course of events in a way Maram never expected.
