The Ceremony

Synopsis

When two migrant labourers discover the body of an illegal colleague on site, they must drive out to the isolated and unfamiliar hills to quickly dispose of the problem. But when one demands to perform the dead man his rightful Islamic burial, nerves begin to fray and a righteous power struggle emerges. As the long and bitter winter night closes in on them, the two men must find a way to work out their differences if they're to stand any chance of saving themselves and their sanity.
