When a private family event gets leaked on social media, Ibrahim Al Ruby decides to live in a village with his wife and children, far from people and the pressure of modern life.

Due to the current dire events in the Middle East, the Calgary Arab Arts & Culture Society felt that part of the Palestinian content chosen for the 11th Calgary Arab Film Nights might not be suitable for the time being. This is coupled with the film distributor’s decision to pull the film off the market for now. The understanding with the distributor is that the Society can screen the content at a later stage.

Accordingly, CAACS, dedicated to giving voice to Palestinian artists, decided to replace the content with another Palestinian, along with the previously short Palestinian film and offer the entrance on Saturday for free for the guests attending the screening of Palestinian films at the festival.
