Description

One of only 15 Syrian refugees living in Colombia, Rifat Algafari adjusts to his present surroundings by forgetting his past and indulging in every pleasure possible. From pork to lap dances, he adopts a new set of beliefs and begins a journey of self-actualization that involves living without regret, as far as possible from where and who he once was. Angie Driscoll
