A film by mohamed rashad
Inspired by real events, THE SETTLEMENT follows two brothers—23-year-old troublemaker Hossam and his 12-year-old brother Maro — living in a marginalized community in Alexandria who are offered jobs by the local factory after their father's untimely death in a workplace accident as compensation for their loss in lieu of pursuing legal action.
As they navigate their new roles, they begin to question whether their father’s death was truly accidental.
