Middleast

Nimer Ahmed is the son of Fauzi al Nimer, an Arab from Acca, and a Jewish woman from Nahariya. Two identities rolled into one, two pasts that were still compatible at the time of his birth in the early 1960s. But only up until the discovery of a secret that is unmentionable for his mother and sister: Fauzi is a terrorist, responsible for 22 attacks in Israel. Unity collapses. The mother and sister find refuge and new identities, cleansed, within the orthodox Jewish community. For Nimer, married to a Muslim cousin from Acca, the pained search for sense coincides with his participation in this film and a final extreme encounter with his father, who has been deported to Gaza. He forcefully refuses the role of collateral victim of a conflict he could be the symbol for.
