Inspired by real events, The Settlement follows two brothers – 23-year-old troublemaker Hossam and his 12-year-old brother Maro – living in a marginalized community in Alexandria who are offered jobs by the local factory after their father’s untimely death in a workplace accident as compensation for their loss in lieu of pursuing legal action. As they navigate their new roles, they begin to question whether their father’s death was truly accidental.
