Two Palestinian cousins hustle their way through the underbelly of Athens, clinging to the dream of reaching Germany. As their circumstances grow more desperate, they are forced to confront how far they’re willing to go for a chance at a different life. Raw, urgent, and deeply human, To A Land Unknown captures the moral cost of displacement and the relentless pull of hope.
Nominated for the TIFF People’s Choice Award for Best Film, Cannes Directors’ Fortnight Award, and the Gotham Independent Film Breakthrough Director Award, To A Land Unknown is a gripping new Palestinian film about survival, desperation, and the pursuit of freedom.
