Going to the cinema is another ideal weekend plan.
This weekend, the Doha Film Institute is showing Songs of Adam, a film that goes back to Iraq in 1946, when a young boy named Adam stopped aging after witnessing his grandfather’s corpse being washed for burial.

Location: VOX Cinemas, Doha Festival City
