The story follows how the actions of two children impact the lives of four families spread across three different continents. The movie starts with Hassan traveling to his friend Abu Abdullah’s home in the Moroccan desert. He's there to sell a rifle, which he received as a present from someone in Japan. Abu Abdullah needed a weapon to protect his sheep from foxes. Abu Abdullah has two sons; one is named Youssef and he’s quite skilled with firearms. The circumstances surrounding what followed weren’t considered—namely, that Youssef and his brother wanted to test the rifle's range, and accidentally shot an American tourist. This led America to label the incident as an act of terrorism. That’s essentially what the film is about. I experienced a disorienting feeling, like being pulled across three continents, because the director kept shifting abruptly between locations. The movie would jump from one place to another. Giving that rifle to Hassan through the Japanese tourist altered people's lives and international relations; America then classified the shooting of the American as terrorism, despite how smoothly things seemed to be progressing. It felt like a roll of the dice—like the odds of something happening are incredibly small, but it still could—similar to what happened to Cate Blanchett because of a gift from Japan.
