The Opsimists
The film (based on the research of Dr. Gal Amir and Dr. Na’ama Ben Ze’ev) follows the lives of three Palestinian lawyers in Haifa, from the British Mandate and the Arab Revolt period, through the great rupture of 1948, exile and return, to the end of military rule. It is the story of Palestinian Haifa— its destruction and the coping and integration of the Palestinians who remained there (in our case, through the unique prism of those who worked in the legal field) with the new Israeli reality.
