Lemon Tree

Eran Riklis 2008 fiction 106 min.

2009, DVD, MPI Home Video, Hebrew with English subtitles.

Salma Zidane, a lonely Palestinan widow tends a lemon grove along the Green Line dividing Palestine from the West Bank. When the Israeli defense minister, Israel Navon and his wife, Mira move in next door, the lemon grove is seen as a threat as a potential hideout for terrorists.
Salma springs into action, hiring a recently-divorced lawyer, Ziad Daud to take her fight to the courts. Then the media gets wind of the skirmish and paints it as a classic David versus Goliath story, but the Israeli Supreme Court will have the final say.
