“A young Palestinian freedom fighter agrees to work as an informant after he’s tricked into an admission of guilt by association in the wake of an Israeli soldier’s killing.”
Such good drama, so heartbreaking; and really rises above itself in the last 30mins to become quite an exceptionally made, well executed film and a triumphant feature debut for Adam Bakri. Leem Lubany, Iyad Hoorani and Samer Bisharat put in great 1st-time performances as well.
