Bekas
Watch TrailerTwo homeless shoeshiner brothers, Zana and Dana, cling to survival on the margins of Iraqi Kurdistan. Their world is made of dusty streets, the occasional coin for their work, and dreams fueled by the cinema. Peeking through a hole in the movie theater wall, they catch a glimpse of Superman on the silver screen. This fleeting vision ignites an audacious, seemingly impossible mission in their young hearts: to travel to America and meet their hero in person. What begins as a childish escape transforms into an epic quest across deserts and checkpoints, where the harshness of reality perpetually tests the resilience of their imagination.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Bekas is a tender yet gritty parable about the power of childhood fantasies to illuminate even the harshest realities. Director Karzan Kader films without sentimentality but with immense warmth, letting us see the world through the eyes of these two inseparable rascals.
What lingers after the credits is the poignant contrast between their boundless imagination and the unforgiving landscape they traverse. It's a humble, powerful reminder of the resilience of hope. — MovieFinder Editorial
