2016, Arabic. Directed by Elite Zexer. As wedding festivities begin in a Bedouin village in Israel, Jalila finds herself in the awkward position of hosting her husband’s marriage to a second wife. Meanwhile her daughter, Layla, is involved with a man from her university. Jalila tries to bury the indignity of her husband and his new bride while attempting to contain her daughter’s situation—but Layla sees a new life for herself. Winner of six Ophirs. Israel’s submission for U.S. Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Introduction and discussion afterwards led by Wafa Alkrenawi, former Fulbright Scholar at MSU.
