Summaries

Storyline

In this gripping drama by Oscar nominated director Farah Nabulsi (The Present), Palestinian schoolteacher Basem (Saleh Bakri) faces personal turmoil after a tragic incident involving his son. He finds solace in a deep bond with his student Adam and British social worker Lisa (Imogen Poots). Meanwhile, an American attorney and his wife push for the return of their son, an Israeli soldier held by a Palestinian resistance group, leading to tensions over a potential prisoner exchange. The intertwining stories highlight themes of empathy and conflict, culminating in a powerful narrative marked by unexpected twists. — Front Row Filmed Entertainment The issues addressed in this movie, particularly the ways Palestinians can resist to oppression and infringement of their basic human rights; the unlawful and barbarous behaviour of some of the settlers were recently brought into light in the Oscar winning documentary No Other Land. — dgurtin
