Running on Sand


Watch Trailer

Aumari, a young Eritrean refugee illegally living in Israel, is due to be deported back to his home country. After a spontaneous escape attempt at the airport, Aumari is mistaken for a Nigerian soccer player, who is arriving at the same time. As the new key acquisition of the ‘Maccabi Netanya’ team, and despite the absence of any soccer talent, Aumari seizes upon the opportunity of his change of identity, and heals the divisions of his struggling team. All the while a tender romantic bond with the charmingly unconventional daughter of the team owner is growing.
