I read some comments saying that this film is too political and the description of love is too hasty. I don’t think the fusion of politics and love is rigid. Except for the beginning, the rest of the clips are relatively depressing. Most of the gays in Palestine are not Dare to come out to the family, the end of doing so is generally dealt with on the grounds of "shame to the family".
The male protagonist's romance develops reasonably well, and the dashing lawyer meets the college student who has ventured out of Palestine to play in an Israeli nightclub, and the wary college student hesitates whether to call on a date. The two came from completely different families, respecting personal orientation on the one hand, and seeing homosexuality as taboo on the other. Love that involves conflict between religion, family and country is not for everyone.
Partnership has the attributes of "gain" and "sacrifice". The easiest thing is to get love, money, and basically no sacrifice. I would like to ask a question, if you want to compare getting money, sacrificing love and getting love but sacrificing family, work, and hometown, which one is better? One of the male protagonists is facing the latter dilemma.
People are bound by something all their lives, and in some cases, only after thinking about life and death can one have the courage to change, no matter the outcome.
————————————————————————
Compared with Palestine, the environment for gays in China is relatively free. Palestine gays come out of the closet to consider the issue of life and death. But compared with some countries in Europe, America, or Oceania that legalize same-sex marriage, China seems less tolerant, and it is more than enough.
