Mohamed (Mohamed Grayaâ) is a simple shepherd. His loves his wife and children but when his eldest son (Malek Mechergui) returns unexpectedly from Syria with a pregnant teenaged wife in tow, Mohamed finds it difficult to accept. He is still angry about his son's decision to fight on behalf of ISIL and does not see his return as anything but a recruitment opportunity for his other two sons.
This really takes the story of the prodigal son and flips it in a modern way. It's only 28 minutes long but there's a lot of story packed into that half hour. It's currently streaming on Vimeo.
