Directed by Sylvia Le Fanu and produced by Sune Wahl.

Sayid, a refugee doctor from Syria, has just received a Danish residence permit, and is about to embark on establishing a new life in rural Denmark together with his son Adnan. At the same time as having to learn a new language, he faces the challenge of maintaining his boy’s respect, in a situation where Adnan’s assimilation seems to be going somewhat faster than his own.

Abu Adnan was long-listed for an OSCAR nomination after winning “Best Narrative Short” at Heartland Festival in Indianapolis, USA. Further, Abu Adnan had multiple nominations around the globe including the Robert Prize 2018, the 40th Festival du Court M’etrage de Clermont-Ferrand, and won 4 awards at the Danish film festival Ekko Shortlist Awards 2017.
