Those that live in Tel Aviv must know their culture and apply it and become one of them, but for Palestinians, they need time to apply it. Three Palestinian women try to reconcile their culture and modern culture but they can not.
Loose and funny, but with some startlingly bleak undercurrents, this is a story about three smart young women trying to be themselves in a society that piles on expectations.
Although "In Between" depicts a nation in crisis, it's a crisis that's viewed through the intimate lens of family dinners, where generations struggle over conflicting values.
Hamoud's entirely live-action picture shows a society that allows women more freedom, but which only makes the pitfalls and hypocrisies stand out more.
There are no easy resolutions here, but Hamoud makes clear that these women - troubled though they may be - will stand strong and defiant and together.
