Yeah, but the key is: the old man is a Holocaust survivor.

He knows going in they might kill him, or worse. He knows fascism, death camps, and secret police.

If they kill him, he knows there’ll be a massive public outcry: “ICE agents murder elderly Holocaust survivor.” The agents’ names and faces will be all over the news, and there will be sob stories from his family and friends. ICE will be publicly compared to Nazis. The agents themselves will be identified and outed even if mainstream media doesn’t focus on it.

And he knows that the guys with guns are too stupid to realize HE has set THEM up for a trap.

Yes

A young American GI, conscripted and sent to fight in Iran, goes AWOL and flees into Egypt where he takes sanctuary in a coptic church.

A young Egyptian woman, heartbroken because her husband was imprisoned and killed by the Sisi regime for speaking out against tyranny, is praying at that same church for a sign that god hasn’t forsaken her and still has a plan for her.

The two meet by chance; he accidentally steps on her robe and she trips. He reaches down to help her up; as they look into each other’s eyes they simply know the pain and loss the other is going through

Following a whirlwind romance that involves escaping both the Egyptian secret police and the American military police, the pair flee south, signing on to crew with Somali pirates; later, after the ship is attacked by the Indian Navy, the pair steals the only lifeboat.

Now, on Christmas Eve, after days at sea with nothing but each other, the pair wash up on the Eritrean shore.

The most incredible thing happens next: an unusually cold evening, an unseasonal rainstorm, then suddenly… Snow.

As they lay in each others’ arms, snow gently falling around them they kiss.
