Overview

Bethlehem tells the story of the unlikely bond between Razi, an Israeli secret service officer, and his Palestinian informant Sanfur, the younger brother of a senior Palestinian militant. Razi recruited Sanfur when he was just 15, and developed a very close, almost fatherly relationship to him. Now 17, Sanfur tries to navigate between Razi’s demands and his loyalty to his brother, living a double life and lying to both men.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A taut moral thriller that traps you in the suffocating space between duty and kinship, where every conversation carries the weight of invisible consequences. The film examines how manipulation disguises itself as care, and how loyalty to one person becomes betrayal of another.
