In Between 

(Israel, drama, 103 min., unrated) Three Palestinian women living in a Tel Aviv apartment try to find a middle ground between traditional and modern culture.

What makes this spiky dramedy so compelling are the Palestinian-Israeli protagonists, whose split lives have rarely been depicted on screen. These strong, modern, sexually active women, living independently in the center of Tel Aviv, away from their families and the weight of tradition, struggle to be true to themselves when confronting the expectations of others.

 “Ms. Hamoud’s debut feature is an unusually welcoming and engaging film, inviting you to become a part of the circle of friends it depicts with such energy and warmth. ” – New York
