THE FALCONER

Inspired by true events, THE FALCONER is about two best friends, Tariq, the son of a poor beekeeper, and Cai, a privileged Westerner. They work at a dilapidated zoo in Oman. Their carefree friendship is challenged when Tariq promises to help his sister, Alia, escape from an abusive marriage. Cai’s worldview and love for animals is pitted against Tariq’s daring plan to steal animals from the zoo and sell them to save Alia. They are forced to wrestle with morally complex choices that reveal the vast distance between their worlds.

“With The Falconer, Sjoberg and Winslow have crafted a film that inspires and challenges, communicates immensely yet often stops to listen. There's not a false note played here. There are no trumped up histrionics or faux conflicts manufactured for the sake of drama. Instead, Sjoberg and Winslow take a true to life, fantastical and inspired story and they allow it to unfold with the patience of poets who understand the magic in these words.”
