Two Palestinian refugees, Chatila and Reda, 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 to get him and his best friend out of their hopeless environment before it is too late. This bold feature fiction debut from acclaimed Palestinian-Danish director Mahdi Fleifel premiered in Cannes' Directors Fortnight earlier this year, earning comparisons to Schlesinger's Midnight Cowboy (1969).
