Synopsis

In Isreal’s Jaffa, a melting pot of cultures and conflicting views, a Palestinian refugee works illegally to help finance his mother’s surgery. Meanwhile, a Jewish policeman is obsessed with finding his missing brother—and an affluent Palestinian dreams of a bright future with his Jewish girlfriend.

Our take

Seven years in the making, Ajami brings the style of City of God and Gomorrah to the Holy Land, creating an explosive crime saga. A prize-winning selection at Cannes and an Oscar® nominee for Best Foreign Film alongside The White Ribbon, A Prophet, and The Secret in Their Eyes.
