1936. As villages across the British Mandate of Palestine rise up against British colonial rule, Yusuf navigates between his rural home and the restless energy of Jerusalem. But history is hard to escape. With a growing number of Jewish immigrants fleeing anti-Semitism in Europe, and a Palestinian population rallying in the largest and longest-running uprising against Britain's 30-year rule, both the British Empire and the future of the entire region are soon at stake. Starring Hiam Abbass, Kamel El Basha and Jeremy Irons.
