This movie is just SO good. I hadn’t heard anything about it, but I’ve been feeling that the world has taken its eyes from the Gaza Strip and the Israeli settlers are taking full advantage of our inattention. I wanted to remedy that.
It is told over three generations from the 1948 Nakba, through to the intifada of the 1980s and up to the 2020s. A wealthy Jaffa family is forced to flee their home and orchards, ending up in a crowded enclave where the grandfather still rues leaving Jaffa, imbuing his young grandson with passion for their home land.
It is absolutely brilliant. See it.
My rating: 10/10
