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 and pursue a new life in Berlin. 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.
Featuring an incredible performance from Mahmood Bakri (Alam and The Teacher), To a Land Unknown charts how good people can do bad things when forced into an impossible situation.

“A tour-de-force of empathic storytelling, with its genre narrative bursting with an overabundance of humanity”IndieWire
