Brief synopsis

At the height of the Palestinian Uprising in 2002, Tareq, an enigmatic man, bears fresh wounds. Tended to by local nuns, who help him escape, he’s soon arrested by Israeli soldiers. Ten years later, he is released from prison and returns to his town, a place transformed by drastic changes, to find his daughter Nur. As secrets are uncovered, light is shed on the stifling nature of contemporary Palestinian society, while revealing Tareq’s hidden past. The sense of moral certainty is replaced by questionable individual choices with no easy answers. Inspired by true events.
