The Arrival: A Gut-Wrenching Family Drama Explores Identity and Betrayal

London, UK — Get ready for an emotionally charged cinematic experience as director Bijan Sheibani brings his acclaimed stage play to the big screen with the feature film adaptation, The Arrival. Starring Kingsley Ben-Adir (Bob Marley: One Love) and Archie Madekwe (Saltburn) as long-lost brothers, the film promises to be a powerful and gut-wrenching exploration of identity, family secrets, and betrayal. 

Based on Sheibani's Olivier Award-winning play, The Arrival centers on two brothers, Tom (Ben-Adir) and Raheem (Madekwe), who meet for the first time as adults. Their reunion—the result of a life-altering decision their parents made decades ago—forces them to confront uncomfortable truths and long-buried family secrets. As the brothers grow closer, they become seduced by the idea of finally having a shared history, but the promise of a new connection threatens to unravel everything they thought they knew about their pasts.
