Overview
Israeli attorney Hanna Kaufman has her beliefs challenged when she is appointed to the defense of Selim Bakri. Kaufman, who was born in the United States to survivors of the Holocaust, has always accepted Israel's right to exist. But she bears witness to some of the costs of its sovereignty when she meets Bakri, a dispossessed Palestinian man facing serious criminal charges who wants the same thing as his supposed enemies: to reclaim his family home.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quietly incisive courtroom drama that traces one woman's moral reckoning as the certainties of her identity collide with the human cost of political legitimacy. The film finds profound disquiet not in dramatic gestures but in the small moments where understanding becomes impossible to ignore.
