Rafaël
Ben Sombogaart
The Arab Spring forces Tunisian Nazir, who is married to the pregnant Dutch Kimmy, to escape to Europe. But he ends up in Lampedusa, imprisoned as an illegal refugee.
Rafaël is a romantic drama about two lovers giving everything they have, just to be reunited for the birth of their son Rafaël. It is a suspenseful story about borders, dreams, perseverance and love-transcending bureaucracy - and about living within prison walls.
