The story

In 1987, Latif Yahia, an Iraqi soldier fighting in the Iran–Iraq War, is called to become a "fedai" ("body double" or political decoy) for Uday Hussein, the son of president Saddam. Latif comes from an upper-class family and attended school with Uday, where students would remark on their likeness. He refuses the position.
