Tip from Cineville: Malmö Arab Film Festival

Munir travels to a remote island to contemplate a drastic action. He is haunted by a cryptic parable passed down to him by his mother. In the silence of his isolated island sanctuary, he encounters the enigmatic Valeska and her rough-hewn but loyal son, Karl. Although few words are spoken, simple acts of kindness begin to overcome their mutual distrust. Munir’s heavy burden is gradually eased and his desire for life reignited.

Syrian director Ameer Fakher Eldin's Yunan, had its world premiere in official competition at the Berlin International Film Festival 2025, where it was the only competing Arab film.
