Synopsis

The elder of a Palestinian village in Israel seeks and is granted permission to hold a traditional wedding for his son on one condition: that the Israeli military governor and his staff be guests of honor at the ceremony. In director Michel Khlefi’s first feature, two disparate cultures come together (and set aside their complex differences) for one day of bipartisan celebration.
