In the heart of Riyadh, where desperation and opportunity collide, Mandoob brings forth the gripping tale of Fahad Algadaani, an overworked man racing against time to save his ailing father. As his world crumbles under the weight of financial burden and societal indifference, Fahad’s life takes an unexpected turn when he is forced to make ends meet as a humble delivery mandoob (Arabic for courier).
However, a chance encounter uncovers a dark underbelly of the city—one thriving on illegal dealings and illicit activities. An electrifying, propulsive thriller navigating the hidden underworld of the Saudi Arabian capital, Mandoob was a box office revelation in its native country upon release last year, and marks writer-director Ali Kalthami as a fearless filmmaking talent to watch.
