The Village Next to Paradise

Directed by Mo Harare

Somalia 2024, 134 min

In a Somali desert village, Mamargade shelters his sister Araweelo, after a domestic conflict forces her arrival. Bound together by circumstance rather than choice, they navigate hardship, responsibility, and the uneasy ties that redefine their relationship.
