Film Description

Jaber tries to make a good life with his wife in the Palestinian refugee camp near Ramallah, just north of Jerusalem. A kind, gentle man in his early 40s, he runs a mobile cinema, bringing entertainment to both children and adults throughout the disputed territory of the West Bank. Due to the conflict, his mission meets more and more obstacles - too many checkpoints, permits that are difficult to obtain, etc.

One day, Jaber is encouraged by Rabab, a female school teacher, to organize a screening in Jerusalem's old city. His perseverance is put to the test when he investigates the complicated possibilities of staging this screening. His efforts get him involved in the problems of Rabab's elderly mother, a Jerusalem resident trying to protect her home from Israeli settlers. Jaber's determination to follow through with the Jerusalem screening, despite a strained political and domestic atmosphere, is the inspiration that carries this film through to the end.
