The Unknown Saint

Following a stint behind bars, a thief returns to where he buried his loot, only to find that his hiding spot is now a shrine to an unknown saint.

Directed by Alaa Eddine Aljem, The Unknown Saint leans on a strong ensemble — Younes Bouab, Salah Bensalah, Bouchaib Essamak — 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 2020.
