| 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 clumsily 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 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 PaIestinian flag and peacefully disrupt the local ceIebrations planned for Israel'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 willing to pay for freedom. A skiIIfuI examination of the fraught poIiticaI awakening young PaIestinians are forced to undergo, this TlFF worId premiere "perfectly captures teenage fearIessness and bravado aIong with a certain cIueIessness about how the reaI-worId works" (Variety). A striking debut feature film from Firas Khoury, ALAM marries conversations around nationalism and iconography with the universal themes of growing up. |
