Synopsis by Dan DiSciulo
This comedy drama centers on an elderly Palestinian couple living in present-day Nazareth and their attempts to stay in touch with their children's busy lives. The clan includes a son living in Sweden, another one playing the role of eternal bachelor in Ramallah, and a heavily pregnant daughter dealing with an immature husband and senile mother-in-law. Maha Haj makes her directorial debut in this film about what it means to live a Palestinian life in the confines of Israel.
