Mars at Sunrise plot
"A film about a war waged on imagination."
When Azzadeh, a young Jewish American poet, travels to Israel to get to know the land and people she knows only through stories, she reveals stories of Israeli soldiers who reflect on the complexities of their military service; of Palestinian families who are displaced and trapped between walls and of artists of both cultures who want to paint a picture of a life surrounded by conflict. While waiting at a checkpoint in Jenin, Azzadeh meets Khaled, a Palestinian painter who has been evicted from his home in East Jerusalem.
