Tanathur / Last Days in Jerusalem

Nour and Lyad, a Palestinian couple living in East Jerusalem, are preparing to immigrate to Paris. He is a surgeon at the height of his capacities; she a seductive, independent, fanciful actress, a scion of the Palestinian intellectual middle class. On the way to the airport, a terrible accident calls Lyad to hospital duty and puts a halt to their departure.
