In this multi-strand drama, Yusuf and his compatriots find themselves caught up amid their nation’s fight for freedom as the war between peasantry and empire is pushed to a breaking point.
Synopsis
1936. As villages across Mandate Palestine rise against British rule, Yusuf drifts between his rural home and the restless energy of Jerusalem, longing for a future beyond the growing unrest. But history is relentless. With rising numbers of Jewish immigrants escaping an increasingly fascist Europe, and Palestinian calls for independence, all sides spiral towards inevitable collision in a decisive moment for the British Empire and the future of the entire region.
