Overview

Palestine is a drama film set in the occupied West Bank, where Chaim, an Israeli soldier, is injured in an accident and loses his memory. When a Palestinian villager finds him wandering lost, he mistakes Chaim for Nasim — a young Palestinian man who vanished long ago into the Israeli prison system. This case of mistaken identity becomes a quietly devastating lens through which the film examines questions of identity, occupation, and the invisible lives lost between two narratives. A nuanced and humanizing story told against a deeply charged political landscape.
