GOOD LESSON.

We are spending our whole lives in fear of dying because of all the instability, and by the time it's too late we will realise we forgot to live. The movie looks great and it has its memorable moments - the beginning and ending are both stellar. However, the rest of it was overly leisurely paced and emotionally empty due to the characterization being quite slim.Synopsis: Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is visually sumptuous "coming-of-death" fable. During her son's naming ceremony, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina's child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina's ever-watchful eye, he encounters friends, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan's first Oscar submission, YOU WILL DIE AT TWENTY is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.

A society of strict religious values.

Yes, that's right. This movie depicts a bigoted Muslim society abused by a Sheik and his followers. Although especially eligible for middle eastern societies, the theme is actually true for every bigoted society in the world. What strikes me most is the man who shows Muzammil a wide horizon, dies and gets burried in his grave. Must-watch for an introduction to middle east.
