Plot
A semi-autobiographical film that follows his family from 1948 to the present day.
Sinekatalog’s take
Elia Suleiman's semi-autobiographical film traces his family in Nazareth from 1948 to the present with deadpan wit. Gentle, absurd and sad, with famously still shots, it is a wry portrait of a lingering life under occupation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
