During the period of ethnic displacement known as the Nakba in 1948, Palestinian cities and villages were attacked by Jewish militias and their populations expelled. Ultimately, Nazareth was surrendered, which is the place where this episodic and semi-autobiographical family drama begins.

Weaving together the personal and the political in a stunning satire, in which appalling and troubling acts sit alongside mundane and weirdly comic scenes, it forms the final part of Suleiman’s loose trilogy that began with Chronicle of a Disappearance and Divine Intervention.
