NA / Arabic / Drama / 108 min
It’s just another night out for Ziad and his friends, drinking beers and poking fun at each other. When a shot rings out from a sniper in the West Bank, killing one of them, the boys retaliate by shooting a settler in a drive-by. In an ensuing chase, Ziad is caught by Israeli soldiers and sent to prison. Fifteen years later, he’s released. Now he has to reconnect with his home and his people, after spending his formative years in torture and isolation.
Bassam Jarbawi’s debut feature delves into the psychological effects of living amidst the tumultuous Israeli-Palestinian conflict. With an impressive lead performance by Ziad Bakri, this complex story—about trauma, survivor’s guilt and the true nature of freedom—is as gripping as it is uncompromising.
