Fidai.

Fidai is a black comedy about two men tied together by their resemblance to Saddam Hussein - and each other. Hosni and Watban are body-doubles and, with foreign powers poised to invade, it is boom time in their line of work. Hosni must prepare his new recruit Watban for the honor of impersonating and – if all goes well - dying for the most wanted man on earth. As the two doubles are cast out into the sand-storm of war, neither realises the profound effect he has had upon the other, nor the psychological perplexities in store as their journeys draw them inexorably to a reckoning with their pasts, their demons, and ultimately each other.
