A Palestinian refugee living on the fringes of society in Athens gets ripped off by a smuggler and sets out to seek revenge.

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. He suggests them posing as smugglers and taking hostages in an effort to get them both out of their hopeless environment before it is too late.

This screening will be followed by a screen talk with the director, Mahdi Fleifel.
