| Despite being part of a young generation of PaIestinian Arabs whose families chose to stay and chalIenge the Israeli state after AI-Nakba, 17-year-oId Tamer and his friends are just like any other group of teenage boys. They clumsily search for drugs, fIirt with girls, pIay video games, and slack 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 fellow classmate, Safwat, in an operation to covertIy raise the Palestinian fIag and peacefuIIy disrupt the Iocal celebrations pIanned for lsraeI's Independence Day - otherwise known to Palestinians as a day of mourning and memoriaIization for their dispIacement 70 years prior. Unsure of his own politicaI convictions, Tamer must quickly determine what matters to him and what price he is wiIIing to pay for freedom. A skilIfuI examination of the fraught poIiticaI awakening young Palestinians are forced to undergo, this TIFF 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 nationalism and iconography with the universaI themes of growing up. |
