A wry, playful reflection on the emotional consequences of a political situation, centred around a revealing series of intimate conversations between the Israeli filmmaker and his Palestinian ex-Arabic teacher and longtime friend.
Charting a friendship that blurs the divide between Lebanon, Palestine, and Israel, Avi Mograbi’s highly intimate documentary juxtaposes domestic spaces with Super 8 footage of a bygone Beirut. Moving from one seemingly casual conversation to another, the film simmers with nostalgia and heartache.
