Eyad, a talented Palestinian Israeli boy, is given the chance to attend a prestigious Jewish boarding school in Jerusalem. As he struggles with the language and culture and desperately tries to fit in with his Jewish classmates, Eyad realizes that in order to be accepted as an equal and in order to allay people’s suspicions he has to make personal sacrifices. Through the journey of one young man, this coming of age story sensitively examines the complex interrelated identities of Jewish and Palestinian Israelis, two peoples divided by a shared culture.
《躍動的阿拉伯人》講述主人公伊德(Eyad),出身在阿拉伯村莊提拉 (Tira) ,獲得了在有名的猶太寄宿學校就讀的機會。然而,他在學校裏遇上各種語言、文化及身分認同的問題,如何在爭戰連年的地方找到生活空間。別鄉離異和孤立無援的滋味,令伊德覺悟必須作某些犧牲,才能在異鄉順利工作、戀愛,最重要是找到歸屬感。
是部電影觸碰和拌摻着猶太人與阿拉伯人的複雜難解的關係,檢視地緣政治對人民生活的影響,折射在主人公伊德的自我省思和突破。電影以幽默諷刺的手法帶領着讀者走過故事的旅程,然而電影的另一面卻是一個淒美的故事。
