Film Details

62 min

In what is left of the city of Jaffa, a man about to lose his house contemplates his fate. Meanwhile two women remain tied to their homes. Cats scrabbling her front door, one finds solace feeding her old mother, until her house is taken over by an Israeli film crew. The other immerses herself in dreams of love whilst making wedding decorations. In a nearby café an old captain sits motionless the whole day through, while another man moves restless like a fish in an aquarium. For these Palestinian characters this is a way of life, holding onto hope through their own rituals.

Directed by: Kamal Aljafari

Frequently Asked Questions

Are advance screenings really free?+

Yes. Studios and distributors give out free passes to build word of mouth before a film opens. You never pay for the pass itself.

Does a pass guarantee me a seat?+

Usually not. Most screenings are intentionally overbooked so the theater fills up, and seats go first-come, first-served at the door. A pass gets you in line, not a reserved seat.

How early should I arrive?+

Earlier than you think. For big releases, people line up well before showtime. Plan on getting there at least 45-60 minutes early, and earlier for major titles.

How do I get passes on Cinefind?+

Create a free account to see the RSVP link for any screening. Pro members can turn on alerts for films they're watching and Auto-RSVP, so Cinefind can try to claim passes for them as soon as they drop.

What's the difference between an advance screening and a repertory screening?+

Advance screenings happen before a film's release, usually free with a pass. Repertory screenings are showings of already-released or classic films, often ticketed by the theater.
