Abu Salie (2026)
Directed by Halil Efrat
Documentary · 52m
Twenty years after shooting the film Souvenirs, Shahar lives in Amsterdam, raising two Dutch-Yemeni children, just like the grandchildren his late father had longed for. He runs the best falafel food truck in town, employing refugees from all over the world. His son Salie, is a 14-year-old adolescent with a sharp tongue and plenty of criticism. Embarrassed by Shahar’s market job, he wants his father to open a respectable restaurant. Shahar dreams of a restaurant too, but cares more about the refugees he would need to let go. The solution comes from Salie, who starts to grasp what truly matters in life.
