Hercules Falling

About This Movie

Hercules Falling captures the heavy emotional weight of post-war life through Youssef's journey. The film dives into the raw, often messy reality of dealing with trauma after combat. You really feel the tension in the air, as the pacing shifts between intense moments of self-reflection and quieter scenes that allow for a breather.
