The refugee crisis and the "sensitivity" of high art to resolve it get tangled in this unique satire full of suspense and scathing symbolism, that was even nominated for an Oscar for Best International Film.
Synopsis
A Syrian man stranded in Lebanon will allow a French artist to turn his back into a work of art. It’s the only way for him to travel to Europe, find his fiancée and finally live freely. He will experience fame and glory but is he really free now that as a work of art he is obliged to spend his life exhibiting his back in museums around the world?
