[Opens April 9 in Virtual Cinema sponsored by MSP Film Society; for more information, log on to mspfilm.org.] When the beautiful woman (Dea Liane) he loves enters into an arranged marriage to a foreign affairs bigwig (Saad Lostan) who works at the Syrian embassy in Belgium in Kaouther Ben Hania's intriguing, factually inspired, well-acted, original, thought-provoking, satirical, unpredictable, 104-minute, 2020 film, a desperate Syrian refugee (Yahya Mahayni) living in Lebanon and working at a chicken factory decides to sell his back in 2011 as a canvas to a well-respected, famous, controversial, contemporary artist (Koen De Bouw), who works with a smooth-talking art dealer (Monica Bellucci), to tattoo a living Schengen visa artwork piece in exchange for money and a visa that would allow him freedom to travel and go to Brussels and then finds himself in the middle of a bidding war by art collectors (Patrick Albenque, et al.) at an auction and his valuable body insured by an insurance broker Wim Delvoye).
