Synopsis
Inspired by director, Elia Suleiman’s father’s private diaries
and his mother’s letters to family members who were forced to
leave the country, THE TIME THAT REMAINS is a semi-autobiographical
film. Opening from when his father was a resistance fighter in 1948
to the present, the film is in four episodes.
A combination of the director’s intimate memories of them and with
them, the film attempts to portray the daily life of Palestinians
who remained. Living as a minority in their own homeland, they were
known as "Israeli-Arabs".
