A man attempts to reconnect with the people he loved in a previous life in this offbeat drama. Ahed (Qays Sheikh Najib) is a seemingly ordinary guy living in the Golan Heights and working in his family's pottery business. However, after he learns of the passing of a man named Youssef who lived in Israel, Ahed becomes convinced that Youssef's spirit now lives in his body, and he decides to pay a visit to Youssef's family. Ahed finds that as a Syrian he's not welcomed with open arms by many Israelis, and his stay in the country proves difficult. While in Israel, Ahed becomes obsessed with meeting Youssef's former girlfriend, hoping he can rekindle the romance she enjoyed with her beau some many years before. I.D. was produced in cooperation with Syria's Ministry of Culture.
