Plot
An examination of the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 through to the present day. A semi-biographic film, in four chapters, about a family spanning from 1948 until recent times. Combined with intimate memories of each member, the film attempts to portray the daily life of those Palestinians who remained in their land and were labelled "Israeli-Arabs," living as a minority in their own homeland.
Sinekatalog’s take
Elia Suleiman's semi-autobiographical film traces his family in Nazareth from 1948 to the present with deadpan wit. Gentle, absurd and sad, with famously still shots, it is a wry portrait of a lingering life under occupation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
