Synopsis:
Amsterdam-based actor Bilal Wahib (1999) has risen from challenging circumstances, going from poverty and special education to becoming a Shooting Star at the Berlinale. He was once celebrated as a rising star, but a seemingly innocuous livestream the night before receiving the Edison Award changed everything. Through candid interviews with Bilal and those close to him, archival footage, and behind-the-scenes glimpses, the documentary offers a heartfelt look into Bilal's life then and now.
