Laila Abbas | 2024 | Palestine, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt | Arabic, English, w/English subtitles | 1hr 32m
After learning that their father left a huge sum of money behind after his death, Mariam and Noura come up with an elaborate scheme to abscond with the money before their brotherโwho is legally entitled to half the inheritanceโfinds out that he has died. The Israeli occupation is a backdrop for this story of the everyday lives and humor of two sisters as they rekindle their relationship and learn to make space for themselves and each other. This film provides three-dimensionality to the images we see from Palestine.
