The Syrian Bride (Hacala hasurit)
"The Syrian Bride is an emotional, authentic and often humorous drama defying all borders, whether physical or mental. In Golan Heights, originally Syrian land but Israeli-controlled since 1967, Mona's arranged marriage to a Syrian TV star she's never met is the catalyst for a conflict-ridden day for her family and numerous others across both borders. In a tale of tensions between tradition, family dynamics and personal fulfillment, each member of Mona's family has his or her own story of love, desire, and duty." - Chicago Film Festival
