In a quiet apartment, Amine, living with autism, finds peace in meticulously assembling puzzles. His sanctuary is disrupted when David, a seemingly benevolent stranger, moves in. Under the guise of care, the guest becomes the occupier. Boundaries are crossed, rules are rewritten, and Amine's voice is stifled by polite indifference. Beyond the psychological thriller, "The Puzzle" unfolds as a visceral allegory of colonization, exploring the fragility of the dispossessed and the silent dignity of resistance.
