SYNOPSIS

Ibrahim comes to Buenos Aires on a mission of death, destruction, and martyrdom. But when he falls under the spell of a Jewish shop keeper and her family, he begins to question his motives.

Using the real-life 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish Center in Buenos Aires as a jumping off point, “Ablution” is a tense, psychological drama that examines Jewish and Muslim hatred and the human hearts capacity for change.
