Paradise Now (2005)
Said e Khaled sono due amici palestinesi che lavorano come meccanici a Nablus e che vengono reclutati per compiere un attacco suicida a Tel Aviv. Dopo aver trascorso l’ultima notte con le rispettive famiglie senza poter rivelare il segreto, vengono preparati ritualmente per la missione finale. Tuttavia, un imprevisto al confine separa i due giovani, innescando una drammatica odissea di ventiquattr’ore in cui le convinzioni ideologiche, i dubbi morali e il peso del destino si scontrano con la realtà brutale della loro scelta.
