    Synopsis

    Immediately after a Palestinian man signs an online petition, he is thrown into a panic-inducing spiral of self-doubt. Over the course of a conversation with an understanding friend, he analyzes, deconstructs and interprets the meaning of his choice to publicly support the cultural boycott of Israel. (25th hotDOCS, Eileen Arandiga)

    Shot with with support from DAAD - Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst for director Mahdi Fleifel in Berlin
