Storyline
| Plot Summary |
More and more, Ahmed, a timid, vulnerable thirteen-year-old Muslim boy living in a small Belgian town, finds himself attracted to dangerous ideologies. Suddenly, while under the influence of the radical teachings of Youssouf, the local imam, Ahmed has stopped acting his age, increasingly alienating himself from his mum, his sister, and his friends. But, the troubled teenager has something in mind, and now, there is no turning back. Is young Ahmed prepared for the painful and destructive consequences of hatred? Written by Nick Riganas |

| Trivia | This movie was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, where it eventually won the Best Director Award, marking the first time the award was officially shared by a directing duo winning for a single film (although Joel Coen has won the award three times for movies he co-directed with his brother Ethan Coen where Ethan had to go uncredited per DGA rules).
