To a Land Unknown

Chatila and Reda are refugees from Palestine who currently live in Athens on the very edge of society, saving money for fake passports so they can go to Germany. When Reda loses their hard-earned cash, Chatila hatches a dangerous and risky plan which involves them taking hostages to extort money. The film by Palestinian-Danish director Mahdi Fleifel (A World Not Ours, 2013), a dynamic combination of tense thriller and social drama, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival where it was received with praise from critics and audiences.
