Palestine 36

As the villages of the Mandatory region revolt against British colonial rule, Yusuf shuttles between his rural home and the rapidly changing city of Jerusalem, longing for a future beyond the growing unrest. Young Afra tries to maintain her innocence in a family of resilience, and dockworker Khalid is inevitably drawn into the revolt. Annemarie Jacir's new film tells of the individual fates of three people at a turning point in the history of the Palestinian people.
