Amal (Hope) is a film co-directed by Arab and Jewish filmmakers and inspired by true events. Amal is a mother who sets out to rescue her son Samer from his preordained fate. When her son is involved with a shooting incident in the village, Amal acknowledges that if the warring clan is not stopped, her son will become the next victim. She fights with all her might for a “Sulha” (reconciliation). But the threat of chaos looms large, and Amal faces powerful forces that tear her apart and engulf the entire village. In the end, fate proves stronger, and Amal is swept into the bloodshed she has fought so hard to prevent.
