Im Schatten des Orangenbaums

West Bank, 1988: Young Noor (Muhammad Abed Elrahman) is seriously injured during a demonstration. This prompts his mother Hanan (Cherien Dabis) to tell the moving story of her family.

Her story takes us back to 1948, when Noor's grandfather Sharif (Adam Bakri) refuses to leave Jaffa in order to protect his house and orange grove. But war, displacement and imprisonment tear the family apart. Sharif's son Salim (Saleh Bakri) grows up in the shadow of his homeland, which he never really knew.

Decades later, when Noor protests against Israeli soldiers, history seems to repeat itself. But in the midst of the crisis, Hanan and Salim make a courageous decision that gives the family new hope – and promises a path to reconciliation.
