In the Occupied West Bank of the 1980s, Palestinian teenager Noor is swept into a protest that changes the course of his family’s life. His mother, Hanan, shares the story that led to that fateful moment. Cherien Dabis directs and stars in this deeply moving epic chronicling the loves, hopes, losses and traumas of a Palestinian family over seven decades.

★★★★ “Even if writer/director Cherien Dabis stays within the language and confines of fiction filmmaking, this decade-spanning historical drama remains extremely powerful, showcasing the layers of the conflict through the eyes of a family that has lived through the Nakba and still carries the scars of its ancestors over seventy years later.” Loud and Clear Reviews
★★★★ “Cherien Dabis’ tri-generational tale carries the weight of Palestinian history hauntingly well, bolstered by an exceptional cast … an essential watch.” Little White Lies
