Eid

Eid, a young man from the Bedouin town of Rahat in the Negev, dreams of writing plays. But his family has other plans; he is forced into an arranged marriage and, in desperation, agrees to a deal with his wife: a child in exchange for his freedom. Jerusalem Film Festival 2024: Best Israeli Film. In HALF A DATE, an ultra-Orthodox student tries to persuade the officer in charge at a recruitment office to defer his military service. Charming chaos.
