Spoiler-Free Synopsis

Read MoreCollapse

(2008) Channel 4's world cinema season continues. Eran Riklis's moving film is set in the West Bank, where Palestinian widow Salma Zidane (Hiam Abbass) tends her lemon grove. But when Israeli Defense Minister Navon (Doron Tavory) moves in across the way, his security guards demand she removes the trees, which could shelter terrorists. Refusing to bow down, she engages lawyer Ziad Daud (Ali Suliman) to take her case to the Supreme Court, which brings international attention. But there is another figure in the drama, the minister's wife Mira (Rona Lipaz-Michael), who sympathises with Salma, wishing for a neighbourly resolution. What could easily have been a political polemic becomes instead an emotional drama as the three protagonists face up to past losses and future hopes. In Arabic, Hebrew and English with English subtitles. Network Premiere Premiere.
