About César y Zaín
Two young boys, two geographical, cultural, religious and very different: West and East. Spain and India. Madrid and Old Delhi. Christians and Muslims. The boys play chess and have contacted the Internet "where" play games. An ancestral language and half spanking that know no borders. Can boys as different cultural backgrounds to reconcile their definitions of truly universal values in the current troubled situation? The answer inevitably passes through the mutual knowledge and understanding will. A dialogue among civilizations rather than a clash of civilizations, is the look that "Cesar and Zain" brings us closer to Islam.
Directed by Larry Levene, César y Zaín leans on a strong ensemble — Zain Azfal Awan, Iñaki Gabilondo, Cesar Vidal Rodriguez — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2005.
