Fiction
What would happen if every single one of us made the decision to rise above hatred, fear and vengeance? Unilateral is the story of two young people locked in the brutal grip of a region at war. Amel is a young Palestinian student who lives in the crowded apartment blocks of Gaza City and is confused by the hatred, destruction and upheaval that disrupts her familyβs simple life. Raβanan is a fighter bomber pilot in the Israeli Defense Forces who takes his mission very seriouslyβ¦ and doesnβt know what it means to fail. The destinies of Amel and Raβanan are intertwined, though they cannot yet realize it. The differences and striking similarities of their worlds unfold in a beautifully rendered sequence that swiftly leads to a single moment of transcendent connection, a moment that requires Raβanan to decide whether he will follow someone elseβs commands and destroy Amelβs life, or make the unilateral decision to follow his own heart.
