If you thought getting along with your neighbors was hard, try living in the West Bank. Told through a series of five interconnected short stories, Lost in Territories finds humor in the contentious dynamics between Israelis and Palestinians. From misbegotten sweethearts to soldiers and checkpoints, each story finds characters caught in absurd situations that reveal there is more that connects us than separates us. Featuring a talented ensemble of actors from hit shows like Fauda and Shtisel, this audacious anthology film is a reflective look at coexistence amid chaos.
