Rollem is a Saudi drama-comedy following Omar Nizar, an aspiring filmmaker in his early thirties who sets out to make a film about his beloved city of Jeddah — only to realize he barely understands what the city means to him. His journey shifts when he meets Farid Lotfi, a veteran cinematographer in his seventies who abandoned his passion for the camera to run an antique shop. The unlikely connection between the two men becomes an exploration of creativity, identity, and artistic legacy in a country where cinema itself is only beginning to find its place. A heartfelt love letter to Jeddah and the art of filmmaking.
