Just kidding. There's no future here, just neverending conflict.
Omar (Adam Bakri) can only visit the girl he likes, Nadia (Leem Lubany), by scaling the walls of the West Bank. Nadia's brother, Tarek (Eyad Hourani), Omar, and Nadia's other suitor, Amjad (Samer Bisharat), are one of many liberation cells tasked with guerrilla operations. Amjad shoots an Israeli soldier as part of a mission, but Omar is caught. Faced with the choices of life in prison or becoming an informant, he walks a very dangerous line between the two sides, but it's nothing compared to the personal betrayals he experiences.
The last act was a little messy for me, personally. It felt overwrought and tacked on. I think there was enough drama without it but your mileage may vary. Anyway, this was super depressing but it's streaming on Netflix, if depressing is your thing.
