About This Movie

People Of The Top presents a gritty slice of life, diving into the underbelly of smuggling and exploitation.

The romantic tension between Zaatar and Siham, the officer's sister, adds a layer of urgency and desperation. The pacing is reflective, with moments that really make you sit with the characters’ choices. The practical effects are minimal but effective, grounding the film in a realism that sometimes feels stark. Performances are raw, capturing the moral ambiguity of love and betrayal in this life of crime.
