Shelter

In a nuanced thriller reminiscent of LEMON TREE and JOHN LE CARRÉ, the story unfolds in Germany, centering on Mona, a Lebanese woman portrayed by Golshifteh Farahani, and Naomi, an Israeli Mossad operative played by Neta Riskin. Naomi is tasked with safeguarding their informant while she recuperates from plastic surgery intended to create her new identity. The two women find themselves confined together for a fortnight in a tranquil Hamburg apartment—a supposed safe haven. However, the anticipated calm is disrupted as unforeseen events unfold, forcing them to seek refuge elsewhere. The bond that forms between Mona and Naomi is tested by the looming threat of global terror. In this intricate web of deceit, their convictions are challenged, and decisions are made beyond their control. Yet, their destinies take an unexpected twist in this tension-filled, sophisticated neo-noir.
