Set in the charged landscape of the West Bank, Lost in Territories offers a darkly comic and deeply human glimpse at life beyond the headlines, finding moments of connection and absurdity where division seems absolute.
In five interwoven stories inspired by the Academy Award-nominated Argentinian film Wild Tales, this audacious debut extracts unexpected humor from the impossible, revealing how living together in the "Wild West of the Middle East" becomes both tragedy and farce. Jews and Arabs—neighbors separated by fear, fences, and history—find themselves caught in absurd situations that reveal just how much they share. Soldiers, checkpoints, and rockets transform simple neighborly encounters into surreal challenges of survival and understanding.
Blending biting humor with heartfelt humanity, this ensemble film featuring an ensemble cast of acclaimed Israeli actors from Fauda, The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem, and Shtisel, transforms everyday coexistence into a reflection on what it truly means to live side by side amid chaos.
