"For My Father"
("Sof Shavua B'Tel Aviv")
(Israel, 2008)

For My Father is an award-winning film that tells the story of Tarek, a Palestinian forced on a suicide mission in Tel Aviv to redeem his father's honor.  When something goes (thankfully) wrong, and his vest fails to detonate, Tarek is forced to live for a weekend among the people he was planning to kill.  To his surprise, he makes a personal connection with several Israelis; all of whom are driven by their past and by their inner convictions.
