Directed by Mahdi Fleifel • 2018 • Germany
Immediately after a Palestinian-Danish filmmaker signs an online petition, he spirals into self-doubt. He calls an understanding friend in London from his base in Berlin, and the two Palestinians analyze, deconstruct, and interpret the meaning of his choice to publicly support the cultural boycott of Israel. Their conversation is a by turns funny and probing inquiry into exile and Palestinian identity.
