When Palestinian Rami discovers his Israeli girlfriend Shirley is pregnant, he panics, fearing the implications of raising a child in an environment in which they can’t even be seen together in public. 

Palestinian director Scandar Copti’s powerful drama, filmed with non-professional actors, captures the raw humour, heartbreak, as well as the religious, political and social tensions in a mixed Arab-Jewish community in Haifa.

Followed by a livestream Q&A with director Scandar Copti.
