STORY
In 1990, before the First Gulf War, Mounir, an impressionable and
sheltered Saddam Hussein body-double, loses his job and moves to Los Angeles
in search of a new start. But once the real Saddam invades Kuwait and makes international
headlines, Mounir learns the truth about the Iraqi dictator and vows
to shed his Saddam persona forever. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to be anyone else.
Only able to imitate and lacking a voice of his own, Mounir is exposed to the wonders of his
new world. Journeying through the streets of Los Angeles and American culture, Mounir sets off on
a surreal quest to rediscover the love, adoration and
happiness he once knew.
