Synopsis

Ahmed can’t sleep. Though he takes pills and prays for rest, his dreams about his best friend Abdullah won’t let up. In flashbacks, we see the young men studying, goofing around and playing video games. Despair, however, is clearly coming, foreshadowed when Abdullah mentions that their mutual friend was killed in a car accident while speeding. ‘If They Only Knew’ captures how the follies of youth can haunt us even as time passes.
