Overview

Al-Thaman (The Price) is a Syrian drama film that places an ordinary man at the heart of a profound moral crisis. Magdy is a quiet taxi driver whose wife's deteriorating health has drained every resource he has. When Safwat approaches him with a job — assassinating Galal, a prominent left-wing novelist accused of atheism — the financial offer seems like the only way to cover her medical bills. Torn between necessity and conscience, Magdy is paralyzed by doubt. His path crosses with Dima, a Syrian refugee trapped in her own desperate situation as Safwat's abused wife. Together, their unlikely connection becomes a journey toward self-discovery and redemption in a film that explores the moral compromises forced on ordinary people by extraordinary pressures.
