“Everyone here, from in front of and behind the camera, is discovering life in real time.” - Ryan Lattanzio, Indiewire
“An impressive debut that raises questions about the difference between a tourist, refugee, and immigrant, and explores how sometimes you have to travel a long physical distance to find what’s always been inside yourself.” - Katherine Mcnevins, Austin Chronicle
Khalid, a Black man from New York, finds himself stranded in a small Bulgarian coastal town—bankrupt on bailouts, broken, and bereft of loved ones. With no cash, passport, or familiar faces, he’s left to rely on his heart and hustle. As he reaches out to anyone who speaks English, Khalid’s wit and resilience transform him from an outsider to a beloved presence, forging unexpected kinship in this foreign land.
