A vibrant and transfixing revelation, "You Will Die at 20" is as novel a vision as we may see this year. From its meaningful ideas on the here and the hereafter, its lesson for Muzamil is that after perishing a rebirth may follow. Full Review

Product Description:

Sakina (Islam Mubark) fears for her young son, Muzamil (Mustafa Shehata), after a Sheikh prophecies during his naming ceremony that he will die at the age of twenty. Coming of age with this knowledge haunting his every step, Muzamil struggles to negotiate the ordinary trials of adolescence with Sakina's stifling protectiveness and a desire to break free. As the young man forges new relationships and encounters new ideologies, he begins to rethink the course of his life and what he desires of the future. Written and directed by Amjad Abu Alala. Mahmoud Elsaraj and Bunna Khalid co-star.
