Karim, is a 2024 Dutch movie, directed by Faten Bushehri, and starring Karim Alaws. with a runtime of 15 minutes.
Karim is a gentle, emotionally resonant short film about a young Syrian refugee boy navigating life in a new country. Karim deeply misses his best friend Laith, who remains in Syria — the homeland Karim was forced to flee. In his new surroundings, he finds comfort in his mother's presence, his musical instrument, and the warm affection of a neighbor known as "Aunt" Truus. But the question that quietly drives the film is a universal one: can Karim find new friends to play football with — companions who might help fill the aching absence of the friend left behind? A tender, child-centered story about friendship, displacement, and the small steps toward belonging.
