*Amphibious *is a film about Khaled's integration into a new city whose culture and language are foreign to him.

As the story progresses, Khaled tries to connect with his environment by adopting a fish, which is like a symbol of his search for identity and belonging.

*Amphibious *is a metaphor for this journey, and underlines the idea that life is a continuous process of adaptation and transformation, during which the boundaries between different states of existence are often blurred and uncertain. It is a testament to the resilience of human thought in the face of isolation and alienation.
