Palestine 36 is set in Palestine in 1936 and follows Yusuf, a young man coming of age amid the turbulent historical upheavals of the Arab revolt against British colonial rule. Moving between the quiet countryside and an increasingly tense Jerusalem, Yusuf gradually realizes that his personal life cannot be separated from the political and social turmoil engulfing his homeland. As communities are drawn deeper into the spiral of conflict, his choices become part of a larger journey in search of identity, memory, and the meaning of belonging. Through its epic scope and emotionally intimate storytelling, Palestine 36 portrays human destinies caught at a defining historical turning point for a land shaped by constant upheaval.
