A multi-cultural team
“The Shawshank Redemption” meets “500 Days of Summer”
In this modern-day Romeo and Juliet, star-crossed lovers Frank and Sarah are torn apart by cultural and geopolitical tensions between the Middle East and the West. Sarah takes her American boyfriend Frank to her home country in the Arab world. After an incident during a romantic night stroll, Frank is imprisoned by corrupt Islamic police for Sarah’s murder. His quest for justice turns into a spiritual journey led by Muslim inmates, ranging from the moderate convert to terror-linked fundamentalists.
