Synopsis

After fleeing Egypt in the wake of the revolution, an exiled activist arrives in Berlin, yearning for safety, reaching for breath. But before he can catch it, he’s placed in a refugee camp, steps away from far-right rallies chanting for his removal. Trapped between what he fled and where he’s landed, he must confront the cost of escape, the ache of memory, and what freedom really means.
