Seattle International Film Festival 2025: Film #28
At least in Midnight Cowboy (1969), which this film is clearly riffing on in the final scene, they both do arrive in Florida. But, here, they are still stuck in Athens.
Synopsis: The stakes couldn't be higher for displaced Palestinian refugees Chatila and Reda in this knife-edge drama. The cousins are saving to pay for fake passports to get out of Athens, but when Reda loses their hard-earned cash to his drug addiction, Chatila hatches an extreme plan to pose as smugglers in an attempt to get them out of their desperate situation before it is too late.
