Plot

Khalid, a charismatic big dreamer from Brooklyn, with no follow-thru gets stuck in a small town on the Black Sea after chasing an opportunity for money that goes wrong. Being the only black guy in the town, he quickly becomes the center of the town’s attention.

Sinekatalog’s take

A comedy-drama about a Brooklyn dreamer stranded in a small Black Sea town after a dodgy deal falls through. The fish-out-of-water premise brings warmth and offbeat humour, with an easy, unassuming rhythm.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
