Summary
RATING: Not Rated

Starring Fouad Habash, and Nisrine Rihan

A powerful crime drama set on the streets of Jaffa's Ajami neighborhood--a melting pot of cultures and conflicting views among Jews, Muslims and Christians--and told through the eyes of a cross-section of the city's inhabitants: a young Israeli fighting a criminal vendetta against his family, a Palestinian refugee working illegally to finance a life-saving surgery, a Jewish police detective obsessed with finding his missing brother, and an affluent Palestinian dreaming of a future with his Jewish girlfriend. As their stories intersect--and the film's narrative shifts back and forth in time--we witness a dramatic collision of different worlds and the tragic consequences of enemies living as neighbors.

  “ Enjoyed it but a bit disappointed. Basically showed the collision of different races, religions, and cultures. Each of the main characters gets caught in their own dangerous dilemma. It was extremely hard to follow all the characters though. Based on the reviews I read though, I expected something very profound. ”
