Lemon Tree
Drama
Salma Zidane, a widow, lives simply from her grove of lemon trees in the West Bank's occupied territory. The Israeli defence minister and his wife move next door, forcing the Secret Service to order the trees' removal for security. The stoic Salma seeks assistance from the Palestinian Authority, Israeli army, and a young attorney, Ziad Daud, who takes the case. In this allegory, does David stand a chance against Goliath?
VIBE
A quiet, deeply human story about enduring hardship and finding strength in the face of overwhelming odds. It feels like a gentle, persistent ache, a testament to the quiet dignity of ordinary people fighting for what's theirs.
