Directed by

Rama Abdi

Produced by

Hazar Yazji

In the aftermath of Syria's devastating war, three young women—Lilan (25), Marah (28), and filmmaker Rama (28)—defy long-standing oppressive traditions by fleeing their communities and seeking independence in a rented old Damascus house. Their newfound freedom is both exhilarating and terrifying as they navigate the challenges of maintaining their home amidst the city's crumbling infrastructure and the constant threat of violence.

House No. 7 is a 2025 (Egg)celerator Lab Finalist.
