    • Synopsis
    • Eid, a young man from Rahat with dreams of becoming a playwright, secretly writes a play based on the sexual assault he experienced as a child. He finds solace in a long-distance relationship with a married actress in Paris, but when his family arranges a marriage for him, his life takes an unexpected turn. Trapped between tradition and his own desires, Eid strikes a risky bargain with his new wife: a child in exchange for freedom. But when a trip to Paris to see his lover ends in disappointment, he must confront his past and find his own voice. Starring Shadi Mari (“Fauda”, “Our Boys”), who won an Israeli Academy Award for his role, this is the first feature film directed by a Bedouin filmmaker.
