Overview

Apartment 6 is an Arabic social drama that puts its protagonist in an uncomfortable moral predicament — a young man coerced into collaborating with the Department for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice to catch a man and his girlfriend in a compromising situation inside an apartment. The film uses this tense setup to examine the collision between personal freedom and institutional authority, raising pointed questions about surveillance, complicity, and the human cost of enforcing public morality. With a tight, pressure-cooker narrative, Apartment 6 probes the contradictions of societies where private life is subject to public policing, and where ordinary individuals are drawn into systems of control they may neither endorse nor fully resist.
