Kamil Filipek wants to meet his father, Illham Al Madafi – a star of Arabic folk music. The two men have never met before. The journey that he takes, accompanied by a film crew, is an attempt to find not only the meaning of life, but also his own roots. What will come out of a meeting with his father, if he ever gets a chance to see him? “Arabic Secret”, directed by Julia Groszek, is a story about the search of one’s identity, showcased from the viewpoint of two different worlds. Despite being raised in Poland, Kamil still feels a strong connection to the East.
