TRAILER

Directed By: Mahdi Fleifel

After a successful 2024 festival run, including Toronto International Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival (Director’s Fortnight), AFI Fest, and BFI Film Festival, the film opens in Philadelphia on July 25 at the Philadelphia Film Society Bourse. It explores the journey of Palestinian refugees Chatila and Reda, who are saving to pay for fake passports to get out of Athens. But when Reda loses their hard-earned cash to his dangerous drug addiction, Chatila hatches an extreme plan, which involves them posing as smugglers and taking hostages in an effort to get him and his best friend out of their hopeless environment before it is too late.
