In "A drowning man", Mahdi Fleifel shows a day in the life of a Palestinian immigrant living in Greece.
The action starts with the basic human needs, the character just wants to get some money to eat and buy cigarettes. Until he gets it, the director builds a tale of desperation but without falling on a miserabilist nor melodramatic perspective.
It's a great short to watch another way of portraying immigration, different from the one shown by big media.
