It Must Be Heaven

Observing the world through Suleiman’s bemused lens, the film follows a director traveling cities only to recognize Palestine in their smallest quirks. Paris sidewalks and New York diners fold into the same déjà vu of bureaucracy and absence. Of course the only thing more absurd than exile is realizing it’s portable.
