Out in the Dark

“Love knows no borders.”

Nimr Mashrawi (Nicholas Jacob) is a Palestinian graduate student from Ramallah who crosses into Tel Aviv at night, where he meets Roy Schaefer (Michael Aloni), an Israeli lawyer. Michael Mayer, making his directorial debut, sets their meeting against the checkpoints, permits and family expectations that sit behind both men. Each time they see each other, the separation between them gets harder to ignore.
