SYNOPSIS:
Wissam, alongside his son Hadi and their friend Jamil, resides in a small apartment as undocumented refugees, leading a life in hiding. Wissam turns their daily routine into a game of hide and seek, using it as a means to teach Hadi vital skills of self-protection while preserving his innocence. However, their sanctuary is shattered when ICE agents conduct a sudden raid, putting Wissam’s strategic training to the ultimate test.
HADI: (young arab boy) a bright and curious five-year-old, is naturally sociable and eager to engage with the world around him. However, his young mind is still unable to fully grasp the gravity of the situation or understand the true intentions behind his father’s actions. To him, the dangerous reality they are living in feels more like an adventure.
His favorite game is Hide and Seek, a routine that has become second nature thanks to his father, Wissam. What Hadi perceives as innocent fun is, in fact, a protective mechanism designed to shield him from the harsh truths of their lives. His innocence and playful spirit remain intact, as Wissam’s efforts to mask the danger has successfully kept Hadi’s world light-hearted and carefree.
