Synopsis
Occupied Palestine: A serene landscape now pockmarked by military checkpoints. When a Palestinian film crew decides to avert a closed checkpoint by taking a remote side road, the political landscape unravels, and the passengers are slowly taken apart by the mundane brutality of military occupation. Both a visual poem and a narrative, Like Twenty Impossibles wryly questions artistic responsibility and the politics of filmmaking, while speaking to the fragmentation of a people.
