Veteran Palestinian director Elia Suleiman (Divine Intervention, The Time That Remains) takes a typically deadpan comedic look at the meaning of being in exile in latest film, which won a Jury Special Mention at the Cannes Film Festival back in 2019.

Playing his alter ego ES, he flees Palestine in search of an alternative homeland, only to find that something always reminds him of home.
