Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me (2015) - full transcript
Muhammad, a rejected boy from the fringe of society, floats through the streets of a filthy city, exposed and desolated, until he meets Gurevich; a lone rover who rides his motorcycle into the bowels of the city, through the shadows of the back alleys, sharpening the knives of butcher shops and gourmet restaurants. Stubborn and tenacious, the boy forces his way under the man's wing. Within this hypnotic urban hell, what starts as an unstable and hesitant apprenticeship evolves into a struggle for self-control.
"And if thy right hand offends thee,
cut it off and cast it from thee;
"for it is better that one
of thy members should perish.
"than for the whole body to be cast
into hell." (Matthew 5:27-30)
