In a place and time where conflict dictates everyday life, three gay Palestinian-Israelis offer an intimate glimpse of their lives as the personal is relentlessly made political. Working against media misrepresentations of being oppressed by Palestinian communities, and struggling against the occupation from the “inside,” these young people are neither sell-outs nor in need of saving. 
 
Inspired by post-colonial theorist Edward Said’s theories of Orientalism, first-time British filmmaker Jake Witzenfeld carefully crafts a fly-on-the-wall portrait of three friends navigating the possibilities of life and love in contemporary Tel Aviv.
-Roya Rastegar
