You Will Die at Twenty
Directed by Amjad Abu Alala
Produced by Andolfi, Transit Films
A deeply intimate coming-of-age drama about a young man living under the shadow of a religious curse, exploring faith, fate, and the bond between mother and son in Sudan.
Shortly after Muzamil was born, the village's holy man predicts that he will die at age 20. Muzamil's father can't stand the curse and leaves home. Sakina raises her son as a single mother, overly protective. One day, Muzamil turns 19.
