Fated to meet an early death, a young Muzamil and his mother become haunted by a Sheik’s prophecy that he will die upon reaching twenty. Outcast by villagers and his father, Muzamil’s prospects come to a dead end. Yet a sudden meeting with a Sudanese cinephile leaves him questioning his existence.
Sudan’s first entry to the Oscar® race, this otherworldly story conjures up a moving parable on the dangers of uncritical belief and authoritarian compliance. A bewitching yet compassionate drama from director-to-watch Amjad Abu Alala, dedicated to the victims of the Sudanese Revolution.
