Abu Raed is a lonely janitor at Amman’ International Airport. Never having realized his dreams of seeing the world, he experiences it vicariously through books and brief encounters with travellers. Finding a discarded Captain’ hat in the trash at work one day, he is followed by a neighbourhood boy who spots him wearing it as he walks home. The next morning he wakes up to find a group of neighbourhood children at his door, believing him to be an airline pilot. And thus the friendship begins. Happy for the company and attention, he takes the children to colorful places around the world through his fictional stories and inspires them to believe in their own ambitions. Meanwhile, Abu Raed’ friendship with Nour, a real female pilot, begins to grow as she deals with her own set of pressures from life in modern Amman. Captain Abu Raed is the story of everyday people intersecting across social boundaries. It is a story of dreams, friendship, forgiveness, and sacrifice.

AMIN MATALQA

Before getting his MFA in Directing from the American Film Institute, Amin Matalqa took a journey to reunite with his childhood dream of making movies. He grew up in Jordan until he was 13, then immigrated to the US with his family and spent the next 14 years in Ohio. With a Business degree from Ohio State University, he decided one day to follow his heart and start over by moving to Los Angeles. There, he made 25 short films while writing screenplays before bringing together a multi-national cast and crew to make his first feature film, Captain Abu Raed.
