Habibi Kebab is a film about the life of an artist. The film does not present a misty-eyed romantic image of an artist’s day to day life. It looks with relentless candidness behind the facade of the art business.
We gain an insight into the various complex problems that lurk along the path to fame and success: generation conflicts, exploitation by conceited or unprofessional gallery owners, but also the self-doubt, jealousy and misinformation dominating the discourse – which only looks rational on the surface.
