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.

This is a gripping and uncompromising film, but ultimately sympathetic at the same time… which is a tough balance to strike. The film differs from the others in this Palestinian strand, as it is the only drama, depicting the lives of Palestinian refugees outside of Palestine.
