Hidden Away (2014)

In the swirling chaos of adolescence, 14-year-old Ibrahim finds himself adrift in the outskirts of a sprawling city. This Moroccan boy, recently thrust into a heart-wrenching reality of impending deportation, takes to the road, leaving his familiar world behind within a matter of two days. Lost in a labyrinth of uncertainty, he carries his life in his backpack, with no destination in sight. As he navigates this turbulent sea of change, he crosses paths with Rafa. In the eye of this storm, they discover an emotion they never anticipated - the gentle stirrings of first love. Struggling to comprehend these newfound feelings, the boys grapple with the realization that their relationship is a secret that must remain hidden away. Their journey becomes a testament to the raw, thrilling, and at times, painful evolution of the self. Caught between the transient beauty of youthful passion and the haunting specter of societal norms, Ibrahim and Rafa's story unravels. They are forced to confront the world that is changing around them, even as they undergo profound transformations within themselves. "Hidden Away" is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the relentless march of adolescence against the backdrop of a world that continues to turn, indifferent and unyielding.
