A Hologram for the King
How far will you go? To find yourself.
A wry, introspective comedy-drama about a middle-aged American adrift in both a foreign bureaucracy and his own life, finding unexpected connection and self-discovery amid absurdity and physical vulnerability.
Alan Clay, a struggling American businessman, travels to Saudi Arabia to sell a new technology to the King, only to be challenged by endless Middle Eastern bureaucracy, a perpetually absent monarch, and a suspicious growth on his back.
