Two mismatched cops end up protecting a Moroccan al-Qaeda suspect they're supposed to be tailing in this Italian comedy-drama.
"Duccio (the always wonderful Ennio Fantastichini, Fortapàsc) is a disillusioned, no-nonsense cop who is unimpressed by having to partner up with young and idealistic Eugene (Paolo Briguglia, The Sicilian Girl). Eugene is an eager newbie who speaks Arabic fluently and is therefore ideal for tailing Khalid (Tunisian actor Ahmed Hafiene). The pair closely follow the life and habits of Khalid and begin to question their instructions - should they be following him or protecting him? Campogiani's profound film thoughtfully examines the social and political implications of the collapse of the Twin Towers, and how this upheaval amplified the already contentious notion of a "fear of others"."
