The verdict
There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 95 minutes.
What it is about
In the endless nights of Berlin, a 55 year old Palestinian Uber driver named Hassan shuttles revellers from one party to the next, estranged from his daughter and adrift without purpose. One night a young Israeli tourist exploring his sexuality far from home stumbles into his cab, and months later reappears, now living in Berlin and nursing a broken heart. Across two years of recurring rides, Hassan begins to recognise echoes of his own buried pain, and is finally pushed to confront the past that led him to leave his homeland thirty years ago. Perspectives programme at the 2026 Berlinale.
Supported by: Consulate General of Israel in Hong Kong and Macau
What to expect
Hassan is 55, Palestinian, and drives an Uber through Berlin nights that never seem to end. He picks up clubbers, drops them off, and goes home to a life that has shrunk around him — a daughter he no longer speaks to, a homeland he left thirty years ago and still cannot explain. Then a young Israeli tourist gets into his cab, and over the next two years keeps reappearing, each time a little more bruised. The movie doesn't milk this setup for confrontation; it stays in the car, watching two men who share a language and a geography of loss circle around what they cannot say. Ehab Salami carries the weight of that silence without ever reaching for a big scene, and Ido Tako gives the younger man a nervy, unguarded quality that makes the dynamic feel less like a parable and more like two people who happen to keep finding each other. Assaf Machnes shot it for the Berlinale Perspectives programme, and the 95-minute runtime is tight enough that the restraint never tips into stasis. Hebrew dialogue, English subtitles. Released in Hong Kong on 20 September 2026 under the KINO banner — check individual venue listings for session times.
