Boy From Heaven

Adam, the son of a fisherman, is offered the ultimate privilege to study at the Al-Azhar University in Cairo, the epicenter of power of Sunni Islam. Shortly after his arrival in Cairo, the university's highest ranking religious leader, the Grand Imam, suddenly dies and Adam soon becomes a pawn in a ruthless power struggle between Eqypt’s religious and political elite.

Winner of the Best Screenplay award at Cannes, Boy from Heaven, was inspired by Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose. The riveting, well-performed political thriller offers a fascinating peek into the clash of politics and religion.
