“[An] engrossing look at a haunted landscape.” – Mike Hale, The New York Times

“Annemarie Jacir’s filmic vision is brilliant, emotional, intense and fresh. One of the best films I’ve seen in years.” – Michael Moore

Annemarie Jacir’s politically charged feature debut is the story of Soraya (Suheir Hammad), a Brooklyn-born woman who travels to Palestine to retrieve her grandfather’s savings, frozen in a Jaffa bank account after his 1948 exile. Struggling to feel at home in the land of her ancestors — and rebuffed by the country’s financial institutions — she meets Emad, a young Palestinian whose ambition, contrary to hers, is to leave forever. Tired of the constraints that dictate their lives, they devise a plan to reclaim what is theirs — whatever the consequences may be.
