Palestinian on The Road

World Premiere

Palestine | Arabic | Color | 99 min


 Ismail, a Palestinian director long denied the freedom to travel, finally sets out on a journey tracing the path Christ walked two thousand years ago, from Nazareth to Jerusalem, seeking stories of miracles and legends. He is surprised to find the route now crowded with refugee camps, witnessing their stories, dreams, and resilience. This cinematic journey blends history with the present, the spontaneous with the deliberate, and explores the ongoing impact of the Nakba on Palestinian life and identity.
