Synopsis

Nablus Girl is a poignant story of love and betrayal that follows two Palestinian university students as they each search for a better life elsewhere, away from the perpetual violence and despair of the occupied West Bank.


Inspired by their shared fascination with American literature, and its seductive narratives of ‘endless possibilities,’ Aisha and Amir follow separate paths out of Palestine, each seizing the kind of opportunity that only comes once. Their exits require lying to their families and to each other, along with other subterfuges and moral compromises that become increasingly fraught and difficult to reconcile.

From the mad chaos of Cairo to the superficial glamour of Dubai, their hopes and dreams collide with the realities of the Middle East, where great power politics will cast a shadow over their futures.

To their great surprise, their paths will converge in a thrilling, intimate moment of sublime clarity.
