Gerusalemme 1978, alla morte della madre, Miral entra nell’istituto Al-Tifl Al, che accoglie le ragazze vittime del conflitto israelo-palestinese. A 17 anni  si innamora di Hani, fervente attivista politico, e cade nel pieno di un lacerante conflitto interiore.

Julian Schnabel’s (The Diving Bell and Butterfly) pulsating drama about a young woman’s idealism and political conviction is set against the backdrop of Palestine’s contemporary history. Based on an autobiographical novel, Miral vivdly depicts the conflict’s effects on a global and personal scale.
