Set in 1960s Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Hajeer follows a gifted young musician born into a family of artists. When illness steals his hearing, he is cast aside—yet refuses defeat. As love turns to betrayal, he rises from despair, composing a symphony of redemption that defies prejudice and celebrates love’s enduring power against the silence that sought to claim him.
