Synopsis
Atropia is an invented city constructed to simulate an Iraqi war zone, just close enough to Los Angeles to double as a film set and just far enough away that the performers who live on-site, to bring the bustling faux-Iraqi streets to life, are not exactly flourishing in their acting careers. When Fayruz, an aspiring actress, falls in love with a soldier cast as an insurgent, their unsimulated emotions threaten to derail the performance.
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.
