Description
2024, France/Germany, 97 min.
Director: Noaz Deshe
The film follows Nasser, a young Palestinian-Syrian boy, trapped in Xoftex, a notorious refugee camp in northern Greece. It explores the stress of an uncertain future, how Nasser's mind escapes the harsh reality of the camp, his close bond with his brother, and a concealed burden. The film blends genres, shifting between surrealism, comedy, and social horror. The main actors in this film were asylum seekers in Europe during filming. The lead actor, Abdulrahman, is a Palestinian-Syrian refugee who resided in a refugee camp in Berlin at the time of production. This project originated from a series of theater workshops conducted in refugee camps in Greece, drawing inspiration from real-life stories.
