Sara is an Italian journalist who has come to the Middle East to report on the war waged against the Islamic State. Nur is a foreign fighter who was radicalized in London, married another fighter, and now lives in the caliphate. When Sara is kidnapped by ISIS and can’t be held in a prison alongside male prisoners – since, as a woman, she is considered an inferior being whose dignity lies solely in her submission to men – she is entrusted to the care of one of her ‘peer’s: a woman. Nur becomes her jailer, and her home, Sara’s prison. That house, in the middle of a training camp run by the Islamic State, is the place where Sara and Nur will face off. Their interaction is practically impossible and turns into psychological warfare as bombs explode all around them and enemies of the State are burned alive in revenge. It’s a dynamic based on silences, blackmail, and manipulation, as Nur gradually attempts to convert Sara. screenplay Alessio Cremonini Monica Zapelli cinematography Ramiro Civita editing Marco Spoletini production design Sabrina Balestra costumes Angela Tomasicchio cast Jasmin Trinca (Sara) Isabella Nefar (Nur) Ziad Bakri (Isis Leader) Omar El-Saeidi (prisoner) Mehdi Meskar (Abdullah) Marco Horanieh (Hassan) Orwa Kulthoum (Omar) producers Olivia Musini Luigi Musini Mattia Guerra Stefano Massenzi Andrea Occhipinti productions Cinemaundici Lucky Red with Rai Cinema in collaboration with Sky Cinema world sales True Colours info@truecolours.it www.truecolours.it Alessio Cremonini got his start as an AD to Ettore Scola on the film The Dinner.
