Forced to flee Tal-a-Sabeh, a conservative Bedouin village, Rana and her parents find a new home in the nearby Jewish community of Omer. Rana’s mother, now having to make final arrangements due to terminal breast cancer, has a dying wish; She wants to be buried in the town that welcomed her. The problem is no Muslim resident has ever been asked to be buried in a Jewish town before. Rana Abu-Fraiha’s directorial debut is an intimate look into her own family’s struggle with loss, community etiquette, and what it means to call somewhere home.
