Our take
A gripping exploration of identity and survival, this haunting immigration tale delves into the primal instincts that flare up when civilization’s facade crumbles. An unflinching look at the human condition, Tareq Daoud’s debut feature transforms the wild into a metaphor for the untamed psyche.
