Nimer and Roy are two gay men on opposing sides of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict who fall for each other. Much as they'd like to be left alone, both political conflict and orthodox beliefs will not leave their budding relationship untouched, with most of the egregious circumstances befalling Nimer, whom security forces pressure into helping them by stripping his access to education and threatening to leave him without family. Through his eye-witnessed death of a friend, Nimer knows he can't oblige. Can love find a way through this no-win situation? Written by statmanjeff

Notes
Best love story this old cynic has seen in a long while -- a fine sit-on-the-edge of-your-seat thriller -- excellent acting, directing, cinematography -- can't find anything negative of importance to note (even the captions were easy to read).
