FAREWELL

Salma has vowed to take her dead brother’s body back to their family home in another country, a perilous journey that requires several illegal border crossings and the dubious help of a people smuggler. It is a physically arduous journey across country, fraught with security risks and made worse by the fact that the smuggler abandons her in the middle of the road, but she reaches a crisis point when she comes across a young man who has been shot. Salma has to make a fateful decision: does she go on with carrying out her promise to herself to deliver her dead brother’s body to its final resting place, or does she try to save a living stranger?
