Omar is a student from Syria, not a refugee. He was in Budapest on a scholarship when we first met. His voice was frank and his eyes fiery. He had a lot to say, but he did not want to talk about the war back home. I filmed as I saw, as I perceived him moving in and out of uncertainty's quiet flicker. An unconventional portrait of my friend when he turned 23.
Portrait of Omar at 23 (2022) is currently not available on any services.
