Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2024
Special Jury Mention, Karlovy Vary 2024
Palestinian-Syrian teenager Nasser and his older brother Yassin have been living in a Greek refugee camp, awaiting a decision on their asylum application. They pass the time recording comedy sketches, fantasizing of making zombie films and moving to Sweden. Nasser, however, feels increasingly trapped in this no-man’s-land. With nowhere to escape, boiling tensions in the camp push Nasser into a surreal and disorienting world.
