COMMUNITY RATING




Co-written by Riklis and Suha Arraf, this is inspired by the true story of a Palestinian widow (Hiam Abbass) Salma, who earns her living tending to her late father’s lemon grove. When an Israeli government minister moves next door and declares the grove a potential security threat, Salma struggles to defend her peaceful livelihood. Personal drama gives way to political controversies as Salma forms an unexpected bond with the minister’s lonely wife (Rona Lipaz-Michael), and takes her protest – with the help of her young lawyer (Ali Suliman) – all the way to the Israeli Supreme Court.
