Award-winning writer and director Ahmed Masoud brings to life surprisingly funny and boldly human stories about four young people in Palestine and Israel. Thirteen-year-old Thaer is on a boat in the waters between Turkey and Greece. He is troubled, but not because he might drown any minute. Nibal is finishing her SAT exams in an American style school in Ramallah while well-meaning suitors pester her father with marriage proposals. Gaza taxi driver Zeid uses Tinder obsessively to try to find a date. Sami dreams of becoming a famous actor, but as an Arab actor, is he willing to take on the roles he’s offered to get known by established Israeli directors?
