Description
Palestinian-Danish director Mahdi Fleifel shares the heartbreaking story of two Palestinian cousins who, after fleeing their homeland, end up stranded in Athens. Hoping for a better future, they go to extremes to get enough money for a passport. Both Fleifel and lead actors Mahmood Bakri and Adam Sabbagh deserve a stage for the way they portray this story, which is perhaps more relevant than ever, and it is therefore no surprise that the film has received much praise, nominations and awards.
