Buqälämun (2013)
Chameleon is about adapting to circumstances, and about that time when you pause and reflect.
A house has to be sold and brought. Nijat, a mostly silent character is back from abroad to the town where he grew up for this. He is constantly accompanied by childhood memories in this house, and is almost reluctantly selling it because of his financial distress and failing career. One of his family friend is helping him in doing this, and taking care of practicalities of the matter. Which include fixing drainage system and getting house cleaned by exploiting local unemployed helpers. Ali is the buyer of the house and recently moved there on a promotion. He is constantly reminded of challenging nature of his new work, and he stays mostly quite throughout movie too. Ali and Nijat only meets once in the movie during signing of the documents of transfer. After which Nijat leaves the town left with only memories of the house. Chameleon is about adapting to circumstances, and about that time when you pause and reflect.
