The Father and the Foreigner

Diego, a Roman bureaucrat with a handicapped son, meets Walid, a rich Syrian businessman, also the father of a severely handicapped boy. The two strike up an unusual friendship, which turns sour when it is revealed one is wanted by police for suspected terrorist activities. Unreleased outside of its native Italy, this is a brave piece of cinema programming, screened exclusively at Reel Cinemas’ Picturehouse at The Dubai Mall.
