Amygdala, is a 2024 German movie, directed by Osama Hafiry, and starring Majd Hafiry, Jalal Albaroud. with a runtime of 14 minutes.
Amygdala is a tense psychological drama centered on two brothers separated by war: Basel, who remains trapped in a conflict-ravaged homeland, and Rafi, who has found refuge in Germany. The brothers maintain regular contact by phone, their conversations carrying the weight of distance and unspoken fear. What begins as an ordinary evening call gradually unravels into something far darker, setting off a chain of events neither man could have anticipated. The film explores the deep psychological toll of exile, displacement, and survivor's guilt, examining how war reshapes identity and strains even the closest of bonds. With a restrained yet gripping narrative, Amygdala is a powerful entry in contemporary Arab cinema dealing with migration and the lasting wounds of armed conflict.
