A 29-minute gut punch about borders, bodies, and who gets to claim their own age.
Daoud lives in a limbo that he is trying to break. He cannot go back to Somalia and he is expelled from one European country to another. He is a 'Dublin-case'. Daoud is accused of lying about his age. He has almost given up. The film depicts his time in Sweden.
Acting
Ahmed Obsiye's exhausted stillness speaks louder than any monologue.
