The City
5.9
Danish-Arabian Yusif arrives in the mythical Middle Eastern city of Medina with his pregnant wife Sarah, and is falsely accused of killing a street boy, brutalized in prison, and stripped of everything he held dear. After escaping, he embarks on a journey through Medina’s darkest corners in a desperate bid to return to Denmark, though he may never find his way home.
