Pomegranates and Myrrh directed by Najwa Najjar

The events of the film takes a free spirited woman dancer, Kamar (Yasmine Al Massri )  who finds herself the wife of a prisoner, Zaid (Ashraf Farah), away from everything she loves until she returns to dance, defying society’s taboos. Through dance Kamar is confronted with Kais (Ali Suleiman “Paradise Now,” “The Kingdom”), a Palestinian returnee. Sparks fly between Kamar and Kais, creating more than a passionate, emotional dance for the both of them. Matters become even more complicated when Zaid‘s sentence is extended. Kamar‘s life is thrown into turmoil as she becomes increasingly attached to Kais, and caught in the midst of her desire to dance and breaking familial and societal taboos as a prisoner’s wife while life under occupation rages on.
