After a verboten public declaration of love for his male partner while en route to Syria, Sam Ali (Yahya Mahayni) is incarcerated, then makes his escape to Lebanon where he encounters a blue chip artist (Koen De Bouw), who proposes, with the help of stylish assistant Soraya (Monica Bellucci), to wangle Sam legal passage to Europe by turning him into a tattooed art object to be imported for museum display. “Art satire meets immigration drama… a prickly cautionary tale of exploitation and commodification… Lustrously shot.” —The New York Times
