The Oscar-nominated, multilayered narrative screened in Houston during this year´s Jewish Film Festival "is a visceral crime drama with a strong ensemble cast, codirected by a Palestinian and an Israeli. In a multi-ethnic Jaffa neighborhood, a powerful Bedouin clan wages a vendetta against a poor family. A teenage worker from the Occupied Territories desperately tries to raise money to help his ailing mother. A Jewish police detective struggles with his brother´s disappearance. And an affluent Palestinian and his Jewish girlfriend dream about the future. As these stories intersect, we witness the dramatic collision of different worlds." — New York Jewish Film Festival
