| Despite being part of a young generation of Palestinian Arabs whose families chose to stay and chaIlenge the Israeli state after Al-Nakba, 17-year-old 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 slack off at school. However, when a beautiful new student named Maysaa' joins their class Tamer immediately falIs for her and, by association, is drawn into her political activism. Together they join felIow cIassmate, Safwat, in an operation to covertly raise the Palestinian fIag and peacefulIy disrupt the local ceIebrations pIanned for lsrael's Independence Day - otherwise known to Palestinians as a day of mourning and memoriaIization for their displacement 70 years prior. Unsure of his own poIiticaI convictions, Tamer must quickly determine what matters to him and what price he is wilIing to pay for freedom. A skiIIfuI examination of the fraught poIiticaI awakening young PaIestinians are forced to undergo, this TIFF world premiere "perfectIy captures teenage fearlessness and bravado along with a certain clueIessness about how the reaI-world works" (Variety). A striking debut feature fiIm from Firas Khoury, ALAM marries conversations around nationalism and iconography with the universal themes of growing up. |
