Film Festival 2023
Frustrated would-be writer and stay-at-home dad Waleed's relatively quiet life in Haifa is turned upside down when the loud, crass and possibly criminal Jalal moves in next door. This blistering black comedy offers a fresh perspective on middle-class Palestinians grappling with the occupation.
