It's inappropriate.
Why is it inappropriate?
Put Kleenex on the toilet seat.
- I don't want any. - Mmm.
Finally.
Oh, Mama, this photo.
Look, I'm just doing what Uncle asked me to do.
Look at the artistry of Palestinians.
This is all resistance.
It's gorgeous.
I can't wait to go to Grandpa and Grandma's house.
Me too.
Look around.
They've arrived! They've arrived!
Thank God for your safe arrival.
Hello! Hello!
Welcome home, dear.
My beloved, thank God you're safe!
Come, come!
Please.
Kids, come help me!
- No, Mohammed. - No, let me carry.
- You had a long journey. - It's no big deal.
Did you prepare my three favorite dishes?
Bless your hands for this feast, Aunties. We tired you out.
Stuffed zucchini, grape leaves, and chicken, God bless.
Enjoy, my dear.
- So, Uncle, did you cook anything? - My contribution is eating.
He asked if he did anything!
Actually, I have to take you to try this burger spot.
It's the most delicious burger in Burin.
- Hamoodi. - Yes, Auntie?
See everything we're eating?
These are your grandmother's recipes.
- Really? - Yes.
We have all these recipes in a book with her original handwriting.
What do you think of that?
- With pleasure. - Hamooda, my dear.
- What is it? - Lameece!
What? What did I say?
- So I can get the green card. - Oh, just for that. But it's legal.
I know that's right. You get me.
How's Nadia? You haven't told me.
She's doing great. She misses you all and wanted to come.
But her son, Osama, has school.
- So she couldn't make it. - We miss her a lot.
Hopefully, next year she can make it.
But really, we're glad you're here.
But in all honesty, I was thinking about something, Uncle.
My dear, we're forbidden from our land,
except for two days a year to harvest the olives.
Why?
We need to have a permit.
Without a permit, we can't even get to our land.
The army claims it's to protect us from the settlers.
Meanwhile, the settlers move freely on our land, and we can't even get to it.
They are not allowed to go to Jerusalem.
Maybe in the past we were able to get permits,
but today it's impossible.
Not even for a half hour, dear.
If you want to go anywhere, don't go by yourself.
Especially if you want to go to Huwara. The situation is exceptionally dangerous.
Just the other day, mobs of settlers burned cars and homes in Huwara.
Two days ago, they took over and occupied another home.
Imagine being in your house,
and can't move freely between your bedroom and living room.
Except with the permission of a soldier.
What kind of life is this?
Come on, Father. They just arrived.
"Go, run away from my face. Don't get close to me!"
Then you see them all run away.
You scared me! You scared me!
Take Sameer to Grandpa's house and leave us a minute.
Let's go, Sameer.
- What's up, Uncle? - See all this?
- See that hill over there? - Yes.
That side is your Aunt Halima's house.
The other side is your Aunt Lameece's house.
And next to it is our house.
See the houses with the red roofs on the hilltop?
Settlements, yeah?
Yes, a settlement.
Down there...
Down there is the mosque.
The mosque where your father used to pray,
and your grandfather and great-great grandfather.
All the way back to the prophet Adam.
Peace be upon him.
I can't wait to pray in the same mosque.
- See all that land there? - Mm-hmm.
We inherited it from your grandfather.
Your mother's share, and your share, and your children's share is there.
Why is the land undeveloped?
We can't do anything with it.
You need a permit to do anything,
if you want to build a house, an office, a factory, or anything.
They reject 95% of the permits.
They brag about this in the Knesset,
that they reject 95% of the permits.
There is no power or strength except with God.
It's humiliating.
Okay, Uncle.
I can't bear it anymore.
Let's go, my dear.
Is this how you take care of our parents' house? It's full of dust.
No one lives here. What do you expect? Of course it's dusty!
It wouldn't be if you cleaned it once in a while!
Run away like usual!
- Hey, Nephew. - Yes, Uncle?
- So you like the room? - Yes, a lot.
This was our room when we were young.
When we were little, we would jump and play on this bed.
You wanna jump on it now?
No jumping!
- Ali, I need to show you something. - What is it?
Oh my God.
- Remember this bed? - Yes, of course.
You and Halima would sleep here, and I'd sleep on the floor.
And when Lameece was born, where did you go?
Ooh, I went to the roof of course!
Older boys aren't supposed to sleep in the same room as girls.
Why is the room like this, filled with so many cobwebs?
- Enough about the dust! - I'm kidding!
Come, let me show you.
- Let's go, let's go. - What do you want to show me?
Come. We found something really interesting.
What is this?
Impossible.
"British passport Palestine."
Grandpa.
I saw this in my dream.
Mama, look what I found!
Where did you find that key?
It was on the wall.
This is the key to Grandpa and Grandma's home in Haifa
This key looks like all the keys of the days of The Catastrophe.
I've been having dreams with Grandma and Grandpa for the last year.
Their spirits are flying around you.
Let me have the passport and key.
What?
The passport and the key.
I'll look after them in America.
No way.
These are here, and they will remain here.
Can I at least take a picture?
The old picture of my grandparents.
- Take it. - Thank you. We got it done.
Tell you what, let's go pick the olives.
Let's go.

Is your back hurting you?
Come. Come.

What are you talking about? I wanna listen too!
- I'm tired too. - Come take a break.
Praise be to God.
Who's a pretty horse?
Who's a beautiful horse?
Do you remember Sabiha?
Our neighbor's horse, Sabiha, that we rode when we were young?
- Yes. - This one is from her lineage.
- You're kidding. - Do you want to ride him?
No, I don't think I can.
What, you forgot? Impossible.
Come on. Get on. Try it.
Fine, but I'm blaming you if I fall.
You won't fall. Come on.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
- Come on, man. - What?
Hey! Get out!
What are you doing? What are you doing?
- They're armed! - What are you doing?
Get out of here, you dumb terrorist!
Are you okay?
Do I look okay?
To be honest...
Donkey.
Did Dad know you rode horses?
Of course.
- Really? - No. Of course...
It was arranged.
Dad's grandfather's name, and...
Love you, Mama.
Ibrahim, I want to introduce you to my aunt's son, Mohammed.
From Texas, originally from Burin.
Welcome home. How are you?
All good, praise be to God. Pleasure to meet you.
It's time for prayer. Mohammed will do the call to prayer.
No way.
- You're our guest, you must. - You're joking.
Go with God. Go with God.
Why are you scared?
You're in God's domain.
Look, Mohammed, if God is with you, who can be against you?
If God's against you, then who's with you? What's the issue, man?
Come on.

God bless you.
- Ibrahim. - You did great.
Be honest, be honest. How was he?
- Honestly, he was really good. - Who called the prayer?
- Mohammed. - Mohammed, he did it.
- What? You did it. - You guys told me to.
You did the call to prayer ten minutes early.
Well, but the clock...
That clock is ten minutes ahead.
- I told him. - You did not. Don't lie.
He's lying.
- They're lying. - Who are you?
I've lived in Burin my whole life, and I've never seen you before.
Mohammed, my name is Mohammed Najjar.
Who is your father?
My father is Mustafa Najjar.
You're Mustafa Najjar's son?
Yes.
Why didn't you say that at the beginning?
I didn't know what to say.
- You knew my father? - God bless. God bless.
Your father, Mustafa,
opened the first electronics store here in Burin.
- Really? - Yes, he used to fix televisions, radios--
Washing machines?
- Telephones. - Washing machines.
He was an engineer. An engineer!
He repaired telephones and electronics.
Do you know who installed the sound system and microphone in this mosque?
- No. Who? - Also your father.
My father installed this?
Before your father, no one knew anything about electronics here.
We would plant antennas and water them.
He graduated and came back with his degrees.
And he taught us how to use these things.
His success was our success.
Everyone in Burin was proud of him.
May God have mercy on his soul.
But you should be the proudest.
Because he's your father.
That's right. May God have mercy on his soul.
Of course, that's my father.
I just need a minute.
God bless you.
Did my father install anything in this mosque?
Your father is great at playing cards only.
Yeah.
I'll be right there.

How are you, Uncle?
Look, Nephew.
If we want to export our oil, we have to first get an export permit.
That's IF we get it.
Then we need to
move the oil in our cars to the checkpoints.
After the checkpoint, we need a second set of cars
with yellow plates, so that we can get to the Israeli side
to the airport or port.
Understand?
Understood.
What a mess!
No, I haven't.
Have you seen him?
I'm going to look for him.
Let's go see.
We're coming.
What's going on, Mama?
I couldn't find him.
Don't worry. It's normal.
- He doesn't know the area. - Don't worry. We'll find him.
Isn't that him?
Sameer, where were you? You worried us!
Where did you find this child?
- This is a problem. - We're going to prison.
Sameer, come sit over here with the kid.
This is four life sentences. This is definitely four life sentences.
I know this kid. He doesn't speak.
His family is from New York. They live on the settlement.
What do you mean? You crazy? They'll shoot you!
Should we call the army? The police?
If we call the army or the cops, that is the fastest way to go to prison!
Ali, you know how this goes.
- You know what happens. - What can we do?
- I'll take him back! - You'll get pepper-sprayed again.
- What is wrong with him? - Shut your mouth!
Enough!
First of all, they know you.
They don't know me.
Fine.
Go up very slowly.
Don't run.
If you hear gunshots, stop.
Oh, my heart.
Take him to the settlement.
Leave him by the gate, and they'll come get him.
Is that clear?
Yes, it's clear.
Be careful, my dear.
Do exactly as he said.
No way.
This is your father's camera.
He sent it to me before he left Kuwait.
It still works.
Hold on.
What is it?
Here, take this one.
Wait.
It's our house. Wait, wait, wait.
Wait...
Wait a second.
That's him! That's Dad!
- Dad. - Really?
Yes!
Look, look at Mama.
Is that a pompadour?
I have shoulder pads like the Grendizer.
You can use them like floaties.
Who are they?
These were our neighbors in Kuwait.
That group on the side were his friends from work.
How beautiful were those days?
Here's Dad. Here's Dad.

Ah, those were the days.
- Right? - Right.
- Come give me a kiss. - You're amazing, Mama.
God be pleased with you.
Look at that.
