Personal Affairs

by Maha Haj, Drama (film en animatie) | 90 min, Israel 2016

This drama intimately chronicles a Palestinian family spread between
Nazareth, Ramallah, and Sweden, whose various generations struggle to find
the words to keep their fractured world from falling apart.
In Nazareth, an old couple lives wearily to the rhythm of the daily
routine. On the other side of the border, in Ramallah, their son Tarek
wishes to remain an eternal bachelor, their daughter is about to give birth
while her husband lands a movie role and the grandmother loses her head ...
Between check-points and dreams, frivolity and politics, some want to
leave, others want to stay but all have personal affairs to resolve.
