Santiago

Captain Abu Raed, Jordan's first dramatic feature in 50 years, is a universal story of friendship, inspiration, forgiveness, sacrifice and heroism. Abu Raed (Nadim Sawalha), an elderly lonely airport janitor, always dreamt of seeing the world, but only experienced it through books and encounters with air travellers.

Nagua

The Pope´s impending visit to a small Uruguayan town stimulates a flurry of activity among the poorest residents, who hope to strike it rich by catering to the needs of the 50,000 expected pilgrims. Brimming with enthusiasm, the villagers not only hope for divine blessing, but above all for a small share of material happiness.

Higüey

Teo’s Journey is the harrowing story of friendship between two boys who, trapped on the border of the United States and México, have to search for their missing father on their own, although this means crossing the desert that has taken the lives of so many undocumented travelers.
