Asad


An unlucky boy fisherman makes an unlikely catch in this Oscar nominated short film. Surprisingly hopeful for a film set in Somalia featuring a refugee cast, I thought the two lead boys were very good, and the fable-like scenes on the beach were touching. Like Buzkashi Boys, the cinematography of the desolation of a war-torn country was quite moving.
