To a Land Unknown (Mahdi Fleifel, 2024, 105 minutes)
After fleeing a refugee camp in Lebanon, two Palestinian cousins find themselves abandoned in Athens, living in a clandestine limbo. Desperately seeking a way to reach Germany, they somehow get caught up in an uncontrollable whirlwind of events. Inspired by films from New York (especially “Midnight Cowboy”), To a Land Unknown unfolds in the style of a thriller, disturbing and tragic with no embellishments. It offers a compelling, uncompromising, nuanced look at migrants’ living conditions.
