Buurman Abdi plot

Somali refugee Abdiwahab Ali reenacts his life, which has been colored by war and violence, with his workshop neighbor Douwe Dijkstra, who is a filmmaker. With scale models and green screen shots, they film Abdi's childhood memories from his birthplace Mogadishu and his criminal past in the Netherlands. A frank investigation into imagining an indigestible history and the purification of the creative process.
