Fourteen-year-old Farha dreams of attending school in the city with her best friend Farida, but she knows that, as the daughter of the mukhtar (the head of the village, played by Ashraf Barhom), she is in for an uphill battle against tradition. Girls Farha’s age are expected to marry.　　It’s 1948, and British control over Palestine is coming to an end. What Farha and her father do not yet know is that forced displacements are already happening across the region. When Israeli bombs reach their village, Farha’s father locks her in the cellar of their home, promising to return as soon as he can. While Farha waits and watches through the cracks, the village she was so excited to leave is transformed to ruin, threatening an end to the future she had planned and leaving only trace memories in its wake.　　A dauntless and compelling feature debut by Jordanian filmmaker Darin J. Sallam, Farha captures both the isolating terrors of war and the lingering beauty that can colour recollections of dispossession — a mental record of the last laugh shared, the faint smell of freedom before the void of exile. An impressive lead performance from newcomer Karam Taher punctuates catastrophic loss with uncompromising determination.　　In this remarkable and devastating story, Sallam’s resonant directorial voice presents a penetrating perspective on the Nakba and returns the gaze to a cultural legacy in the midst of a global resurgence.

《时光依旧》跨越了从1948年到现在60多年的时间，通过一个人的遭遇审视了发生在以色列的巨变。　　《时光依旧》是一个半自传性的电影，记录了一个家庭生活中四个标志性的片段。这部电影以我父亲的私人记事本为素材，从1948年他作为一名抵抗战士开始讲述，同时参杂了我母亲写给她流亡海外的亲人的家书和我关于父母亲的私人回忆。电影描绘了这些巴勒斯坦人日常生活的画卷：他们留在他们出生的土地上，被划入“阿拉伯以色列人”，在自己的国家作为少数派而存在着。　　从1948年以色列建国至今，透过一名巴勒斯坦抵抗组织成员福阿德的故事，呈现出他儿子对自我身份认同的追问。这场政治浩劫的现实让伊利亚?苏雷曼不得不思考这样一个问题：是他将巴勒斯坦带到了他所到之处，还是巴勒斯坦自己延伸到了世界的其他地方？
