About the Film:

Rana wakes to an ultimatum delivered by her father: She must either choose a husband from a list of eligible men, or accompany her father abroad. Thus begins this romantic drama about a Palestinian woman who wants to get married to the man of her own choice; with only ten hours to find her boyfriend in occupied Jerusalem, Rana sneaks out of her father's house to find her forbidden love, Khalil.
