Nafas

Israel, 2008: as the media warns of an imminent attack by Hamas from Gaza, Israeli citizens of Arab origin are increasingly stigmatised as criminals. While the friends Wardeh, Qais and Saleh are still able to partially escape these hostilities in liberal Tel Aviv, they fall into the clutches of a Palestinian drug lord while searching for party pills. The latter sees the three indebted students as ideal accomplices for getting his goods, which will become much scarcer during the upcoming war, distributed among the youth. (Zurich Film Festival)
