On a pleasant Saturday afternoon, six terrorists raid a café in downtown Dhaka, Bangladesh. The attackers divide the patrons by religion and kill the foreigners first. The few surviving hostages, all of them Muslims, attempt to maintain their humanity in spite of the situation. Basing their story on the attack on the Café Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka on July 1, 2016, director and scriptwriter Mostofa Sarwar Farocki examines how and why the attack took place and explores the contradictions inherent in the ideologies and religions involved. This film was shot in a single take. (Filmfest München)
