Set against the backdrop of Gaza’s enduring strife, UPSHOT is a gripping drama brought to life by a starry cast headlined by Mohammed Bakri, Areen Omari, and Amer Hlehel. It tells the story of Suleiman and Lubna, a couple who retreat to a mist-shrouded, isolated farm as they try to cope with unspeakable loss. Through the alchemy of storytelling, Suleiman and Lubna conjure a parallel reality free of their pain in which their lives unfold in vivid detail. But when a journalist intrudes upon their sanctuary, wielding the blunt force of truth, the fragile illusion they’ve constructed threatens to unravel.
