Salt of This Sea
DramaRomance
Born in Brooklyn to Palestinian refugee parents, Soraya (Suheir Hammad) decides to journey to the country of her ancestry when she discovers that her grandfather's savings have been frozen in a Jaffa bank account since his 1948 exile. However, she soon finds that her simple plan is a complicated undertaking — one that takes her further from her comfort zone than she'd imagined.
VIBE
A deeply personal journey of rediscovery, this film feels like tracing old maps and forgotten memories. It's a quiet, contemplative exploration of roots and belonging, steeped in the bittersweet ache of displacement.
