You can never escape your past
Directed by Ruba Nadda
Produced by Myriad Pictures, Alliance Films
A tense thriller about a man forced to return to a dangerous past when his daughter vanishes, exploring themes of escape, consequence, and the inescapability of one's history.
Twenty-five years ago Adib, a promising young officer in the Syrian military police, suddenly left Damascus under suspicious circumstances. Abandoning the love of his life Fatima, he made his way to Canada and wiped the slate clean. When his daughter Muna suddenly disappears in Damascus, his past threatens to violently catch up to him. Teaming up with a Canadian emissary, Adib must now confront the turmoil he thought he left behind in order to find Muna.
