Kort! - Broken Promise

Director: Wiam Al-Zabari
Atmospheric night-time walk in a Dutch city by two illegal Afghans, who are caught between their miserable Western reality and the home front’s high expectations.

Two Afghan illegal aliens take a walk at night. To the rhythm of their nocturnal stroll, we see how the Dutch reality, from bare mattresses in a condemned building, breakdancing in the street to running from the police, is at odds with their phone calls to relatives who stayed behind and have both concerns and high expectations. To reassure the home front, one Afghan takes a picture of himself in front of a nice house and expensive car.
