About Blessed Benefit
Imprisoned on an unfair charge of fraud, a mild-mannered Jordanian contractor discovers that prison has its own rhythms, rules, and economies — and he soon begins to carve out a position for himself in this place where fraud isn’t a crime so much as a way of life.
Directed by Mahmoud al Massad, Blessed Benefit leans on a strong ensemble — Ahmad Thaher, Maher Khammash, Odai Hijazi — 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 comedy titles of 2017.
