Sham

3 - 4 Oct 2025

Sham

Croydon. 2025. Karim (20) and Liz (50) are trying for a fiancé visa. Over the course of an intense interview, their relationship is interrogated. Is it love? Or something else?

Jumping between the Home Office and an all-inclusive Tunisian hotel, Sham is a sharp exploration of power, desire, and the lengths we go to, to get what we want.
