Let It Be Morning

A middle-class Palestinian businessman Sami lives in Jerusalem with his wife and kid. An invitation to his brother's wedding forces him to return to the Arabic village where he grew up. After the wedding, with no explanation, the village is put under lockdown by Israeli soldiers. Chaos rises overnight amongst those stuck within the walls. Cut off from the outside world, trapped in an unexpected situation, Sami watches as everything falls apart. Sami regards the dusty settlement of his youth with minimal nostalgia, and a hint of condescension toward family and former friends.
