Trailer

We don’t know, whether he is an Al-Qaeda militant or an innocent man, who found himself in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Mohammed was caught by American soldiers in Afghanistan and taken to a secret base, somewhere in Central Europe, but manages to escape. He will not hesitate to commit even the most brutal crime, if it guarantee his survival.

It is a powerful, moving and cliffhanging film that keeps the suspense until the very last scene.
