I can't believe there aren't reviews of this. The script is solid, subtle, and assured. That it plays more like a stage piece is, in my opinion, a selling point: What occidental social theorists render as "absurd" is here rendered unaugmented by a very thoughtful filmmaker. This IS life under occupation, the waiting, the attempt to normalize, to educate children, to get through "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow." I hope people will watch this little movie. It is well worth your time.

Arabic-language cinema spans many regions, with Egypt pioneering popular musicals and melodramas, while Lebanon, Palestine, and North Africa use film as a medium for political expression and memory. Collectively, it expresses Arab identity onscreen and has influenced storytelling across the Middle East.
