British-Jordanian filmmaker Naji Abu Nowar delivers a startingly assured debut feature as writer-director, with Brit Robert Lloyd on board as co-producer. This Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning drama is observed from a child’s perspective, led by a wonderfully expressive performance from Jacir Eid Al-Hwietat, with support from the UK's Jack Fox. Co-produced by London-based Noor Pictures.
