Heads Up

Democracy must be revived every day. Heads Up is more than just a home-invasion thriller - it is a reflection of our complex political landscape. In a time when political ideologies are more polarized than ever, the film delves into themes of fanaticism, ideology, and the hard choice between belonging and breaking out.

The story follows six friends from a wealthy background who find themselves trapped in a deadly confrontation with armed intruders from a radical left-wing "terrorist" organization called Heads Up. As the night unfolds, they must confront their fears, question their beliefs, and fight for survival in a battle where morality is not as clear-cut as it seems.

With gripping tension, emotional depth, and unexpected revelations, Heads Up challenges its audience to reflect on the state of democracy, the dangers of extremism, and the fragility of societal order. More than just entertainment, the film is an invitation to question the world we shape and the choices we make.

As director Charif Ounis states: “Democracy is more than just casting a vote. It is a responsibility we must uphold every day.”
