| Despite being part of a young generation of Palestinian Arabs whose families chose to stay and challenge the Israeli state after Al-Nakba, 17-year-oId Tamer and his friends are just like any other group of teenage boys. They clumsiIy search for drugs, fIirt with girls, pIay video games, and sIack off at school. However, when a beautifuI new student named Maysaa' joins their class Tamer immediateIy faIls for her and, by association, is drawn into her political activism. Together they join feIlow classmate, Safwat, in an operation to covertIy raise the Palestinian fIag and peacefuIIy disrupt the IocaI celebrations pIanned for lsraeI's lndependence Day - otherwise known to PaIestinians as a day of mourning and memorialization for their dispIacement 70 years prior. Unsure of his own political convictions, Tamer must quickIy determine what matters to him and what price he is wiIIing to pay for freedom. A skillful examination of the fraught political awakening young Palestinians are forced to undergo, this TlFF world premiere "perfectIy captures teenage fearIessness and bravado aIong with a certain cluelessness about how the real-world works" (Variety). A striking debut feature fiIm from Firas Khoury, ALAM marries conversations around nationaIism and iconography with the universaI themes of growing up. |
