The 'Lupin' star headlines the feature debut of producer and activist Brandt Andersen, who adapted the story from his prizewinning short 'Refugee.'
, a visceral migrant drama that plays less as a movie with a message than as a message with a movie.), former NBA G League franchise owner and international activist, the film follows several characters whose lives are upended by the Syrian Civil War, switching points of view as it moves from the grim battlegrounds of Aleppo to the gates of Europe.
Of the many characters Amira and Rasha run into as they try to make it to safety, the most intriguing are a Syrian soldier named Mustafa , who finds himself torn between allegiances to Assad and his own burgeoning moral conscience; and the refugee smuggler Marwan , who runs an operation between Turkey and Greece involving a treacherous boat ride across the Aegean Sea.
Andersen’s message, heard loud and clear and several times over — and amplified by a thundering score from Nick Chuba — is that children are often the victims of conflicts they have nothing to do with, while their parents are left traumatized, picking up the pieces of their wrecked lives. This is Amira’s story, but it’s also Mustafa’s and Marwan’s.
