This a very beautiful and very personal account of a story of a nation. Nasrallah did a great job. The dialog, imagery, costumes, acting are superb, touching and very human. Filmography is very good, excellent director of photography.
The fact that it contains two parts is a very subtle distinction between how two generations view the nakbah.
Life in pre-nakbah Palestine is both idyllic and realistic, the depiction life afterwards is very expressive.
The film is a tour de force and emotionally charged.
Two thumbs up!
