An intimate, and often humorous, portrait of three generations of exile in the refugee camp of Ein el-Helweh, in southern Lebanon.
Offering a fascinating window into a world often distorted and oversimplified, this is informative, stimulating and moving stuff.
It is a very accomplished piece of film-making.
Along with its anger, Fleifel's revealing film contrives, against the odds, to derive everyday humour from the refugee experience.
Heartbreaking and hilarious, personal and political, humble and yet huge.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
