"Light of Darkness" is a cross-border love that illuminates two young lives. Nemo (Nicholas Jacob), a young Palestinian college student, sneaks into Israel and meets Roy (MichaelAloni), a handsome lawyer in a gay bar in Tel Aviv. When Nemo obtained a student visa to legally travel to and from Israel, he and Roy quickly fell into a passionate love affair. But as the relationship heats up, so does resistance. For Nemo, Palestine is not ashamed of his sexuality, and Israel does not recognize his identity; he was blacklisted by Israeli Secret Service because of a radical and violent older brother, and his visa was revoked as a result. Roy tried his best to run for Nemo, but was threatened by the official; and Nemo's secret seemed to be discovered by his family, and his life was in unprecedented danger. Can this love in the dark night finally break through the obstacles and embrace the light?

    7/10. "You have chosen the opposite position", hehe, they just chose love. Claiming to be the kingdom closest to God, but do not understand what the real "meaning" is, even close relatives can abandon each other for the sake of not knowing the so-called God, it is extremely ironic. A tragic story, but at least it leaves a beautiful possible space, darkness, but still light. The plot is slightly flat, and all the depictions of love are not deep enough, which is a pity. Cast too good plus one star.
