Absent Present - One Country. One Family. One Conflict.

Absent Present

The film tells the story of an extended Palestinian family living in the heart of Israel. The members of the Jabarine family talk about their lives in a country which they may call home, but which doesn't feel like home to them, a status that they themselves describe as "absent-present". Moving beyond familiar conflict tropes, the young directors succeed in painting an entertaining and affecting portrait of a family that has been advocating for years for a peace that affects the whole world.
