Synopsis:
In Ethiopia, two young men are racing to make their dreams come true. Two twelve-year-old boys grow up together in a remote village - until a single photo changes their lives forever: Solomon (Mikias Wolde) heads for Addis Ababa to become a photographer. Abdi (Ashenafi Nigusu) remains at home and trains to fulfil his dream of matching the sport successes of Haile Gebrselassie. Ten years later, Abdi is nominated for the Ethiopian National Running Team and moves to Addis Ababa. He feels Solomon must be dead by now, but an inner voice tells him to look for his old friend. And in fact, Solomon is still alive, but in a completely different world to Abdi's.

A wonderful film. - Running Against the Wind review by AW

Spoiler Alert
26/10/2021

This is an excellent film and very worthy of the many accolades it has already received despite not winning (nominated) awards which it deserved.
