Winner of Best Documentary at the Jerusalem Film Festival, this gripping historical account explores how Israel governed its Arab citizens after the establishment of the State of Israel, laying down pieces of the puzzle that make sense of a complex present. Director Danel Elpeleg delves into her grandfather Zvi’s past as the military governor installed to oversee the Arab population. The positive image she once had of him crumbles after she uncovers a deeply hidden family secret that reveals his true actions as a ruler both militarily and in his personal life. The personal and political intertwine, raising questions about control and love.
