Saïr (2022)

The film deals with the eternal doubt of humanity and raises the issue of the true nature of human beings. Is it an absolute good sullied by corruption, or an absolute evil camouflaged by hypocrisy and interest? This is this philosophical paradox that the film analyzes through its protagonists. The twins, Mahdi and Saddam present two typical examples of this problem. The first interprets the role of the peaceful, ambitious young man, despite the various obstacles of life. The second is a bullying stereotype of the evil and rebellious who tries to extend his dominance and tries to impose his authority on the neighborhood cronies and manipulate them in order to achieve his own goals. The film sheds light on each one's daily life, trying through this contrast, to underline the obstacles and the problems which they are exposed in a dramatic framework aimed at soliciting a reflection likely to explain this paradox.
