NZIFF - Boy From Heaven at Lumiere Cinemas

NZIFF - Boy From Heaven

126 mins | Rated M (Violence)

Directed by Tarik Saleh

Starring Hussein Salameh, Fares Fares, Mohammad Bakri, Tawfeek Barhom, Sherwan Haji, Mehdi Dehbi


Spy thriller and coming-of-age narrative deftly combine in this sinuous, Cairo-set exploration of political and religious corruption by Tarik Saleh (The Nile Hilton Incident, NZIFF 2017), who received Best Screenplay at Cannes 2022.

When Adam, the humble son of a fisherman, is awarded a state sponsorship to study at the prestigious Al-Azhar University in Cairo, the epicentre of power of Sunni Islam, he imagines his life set on a path of learning. However, his apprenticeship will be of an entirely different nature as he becomes entangled in the institution’s back-door dealings and shady manoeuvrings. Will he be a pawn, victim, or kingmaker? – Sandra Reid
