15 135 mins
Join filmmaker and host Tomisin Adepeju for a preview of Mahdi Fleifel’s bold and arresting fiction debut.
The stakes couldn't be higher for displaced Palestinian refugees Chatila and Reda in this knife-edge drama. The cousins are saving to pay for fake passports to get out of Athens, but when Reda loses their hard-earned cash to his drug addiction, Chatila hatches an extreme plan to pose as smugglers in an attempt to get them out of their desperate situation before it is too late.
The post screening discussion with Tomisin Adepeju and Director, Mahdi Fleifel will interrogate the film’s tonal and stylistic flourishes, its grounded genre framework and it’s multifaceted exploration of home, displacement and identity.
