Two Syrian refugees from two different generations. Hassan, a 55-year-old heading for England in pursuit of a new life. The incident gathered him with the second character, (Rakan) 30 years old, a young Syrian activist in the Syrian revolution . During the night they spend in a Warehouse in the port of Calais - France. The relationship between the two shows Rhakan's reservation towards Hassan, who seems absurd and speaks a lot while Rakan briefly answers Hassan's questions. Hassan appears to be sick and have a fever. In a dramatic moment and as the fever mounts over Hassan, Rakan announces that he knows Hassan and his true identity. A confrontation between the two leads to the absurdity. We see another face for these characters that makes violence a hallmark of the night. The next morning the sunbeam carries the truth that reveals the hidden story and puts everyone in front of his destiny to face what he has done.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
