In this edge-of-your-seat thriller inspired by real events, a British police officer (Douglas Booth) and a Jewish woman (Irina Starshenbaum) fall in love amidst the political turmoil of 1930s Tel Aviv. With British control over Palestine becoming precarious and conflict turning inevitable, everyone is forced to choose a side. From acclaimed director Michael Winterbottom (The Trip, A Mighty Heart).

"A handsomely mounted period piece about a place and time in which friends were forced into becoming enemies, and Winterbottom draws an especially solid performance from his leading lady."
"In addition to sterling work by the three young principals, Ian Hart gives a standout performance as the British High Commissioner’s ubiquitous righthand man, offering a supercilious, world-weary gravitas that seemingly epitomizes the official British attitude to the Mandate."
