Quarantine

Overview

A contract killer and a poor family are squatting in the same residence in Baghdad courtesy of their boss, who is one of the political overlords in Iraq. The killer is caught in a moral downhill spiral with his ruthlessness increasing with every crime he commits. Meanwhile, the mother and children of the family he is living with are trapped by their conditions but refuse to give in to them. The characters seem like fragmented reflections of Iraq as it negotiates its traumas of wars and corruption, and a very uncertain future.
