“A film of surprising warmth and generosity, which takes a situation riven by discord and turns it into a melancholy song of resolution.”~Mark Kermode, The Guardian

Aroview: Wryly comedic drama set in Nazareth in the lead-up to Christmas, where a conservative father and his estranged hipster son attempt to reconcile their differences while hand-delivering invitations for an upcoming wedding in their family, fulfilling the wajib (Palestinian traditional duty) of the title.
