This political fiction was made at the Film School in Łódź. Hamza lives a modest and honest life in his new country. He has a job and is trying to save money. But, now, he has found himself up against a wall and needs much more money soon as his wife’s life depends on it. Problems are piling up and he can feel the noose tightening around his neck. An old friend has a dangerous proposal for him. Will Hamza take him up on this offer that will forever change everything? Mohammed Almughanni employs the genre model to tell us about a scheme that excellently mirrors contemporary political and social tensions.
