SHARAF
Synopsis
SHARAF, based on Sonallah Ibrahim's famous novel, is the story of a modern Candide in a dystopian Arab World.
He is one of the countless poor guys, who long for a better future.
When Sharaf kills a man in self defence and is put in jail, he has to wake up from his dreams of wealth and consumption. The microcosm of prison mirrors the complex situation of Arab societies living under dictatorship and poverty, dependent on an unjust global economic system.
