About the film: The film follows Youssef as he moves between his rural home and the turbulent city of Jerusalem, yearning for a future beyond the escalating unrest of 1936. But history doesn't stand still; with the influx of refugees fleeing a rising fascist Europe and the growing calls for independence, all sides are heading toward an inevitable clash at a pivotal moment for the British Empire and the future of the entire region.
