About the film
What it’s about
In 1993, Ahmed comes home bandaged after a crash, with no memory of it. His child is afraid of him, and every night visitors arrive speaking in strange tongues. His neighbor also makes him uneasy.
What hooks you
Yanis Koussim directs and writes this Saudi-Algerian-Qatari-French production. Hicham Abdelfah plays Ahmed, and Ali Namous plays Ahmed Lekhad. The film runs 89 minutes.
Who it’s for
It is a good pick for those who like slow-burning unease where a man's own home becomes a place of dread, and for viewers drawn to stories of fractured identity and the uncanny.
