    No story, no drama
    Everything starts out well. Three guys. They identify as gay. They identify as Palestinians. And they say they have Israeli ID cards. They are middle class. But at no time it is revealed what they do. Because the videos that they film are quite far apart and they seem as a play between friends and not jobs.

    Than we see that only one is fully accepted by his own family, and the others cry a bit, but for the viewer there is not much to relate to the scene unless the viewer is living a similar case.

    The guys are political. But there are only hints that they do have anything to worry about. Not only that, but they are reluctant to move away from that awful place when given the opportunity. So should I care about the drama queens? Anyway, by half time the novelty is exhausted and the talks, although personal, become the same dilemmas rehashed. By two thirds into the movie I was waiting for the ending. Which does not bring anything. It's like the end of footage, not the end of a documentary.

    Disappointing.
