Arrested after the death of an Israeli soldier, a Palestinian baker (Adam Bakri) agrees to work as an informant, but his true motives and alliances remain hidden.
IMDB - 13 wins + Nominated for 1 Oscar
In places like the West Bank truth is the first casualty. This fictional tale takes real life tensions and offers very believable characters to make that point.
The 3 friends (Omar, Tarek & Amjad) plus the sister Nadia are constantly kept off balance by the political tensions that come from living in Palestine.
The director manages to add just enough warmth and naturalness to the various story loops to keep us on side with the lead characters.
The Israeli lead protagonist (Rami) has clearly read Machievelli's the Prince. He uses half truth, insinuation and educated guesses to rattle Omar and his friends.
Just when you think you know what is going to happen it all changes. This is a great movie. I saw it at a film festival but I hope it goes on to wider release.
