Synopsis: It is high noon in a desert village in Southern Israel. Jalila is hosting an awkward celebration – the marriage of her husband to a second, much younger wife – while her daughter Layla frets about her recently unveiled and strictly forbidden love affair.

A story of tradition, modernity, and divided family, Elite Zexer’s mesmerising debut feature portrays the layered relationship between mother and daughter, both bound by custom while struggling to adapt to a changing world. Zexer’s artful storytelling derives its authenticity—its complexity of character, rich detail, and subtle humour—from the 10 years she’s spent interacting with Bedouin women.
