Lesh Sabreen? tells the story of two young lovers as they navigate dreams and deadends in their sociallyconservative and Israelicontrolled community. Sabreen and Ayman dream of being together. However, Ayman will never be able to care for Sabreen in a way that her father would approve of.

Will the young lovers be able to realize their dreams in spite of these difficulties?
