$20 (passes not accepted)
In Palestine's first Oscar nominated film; all is fair in love and war. No film in recent memory unpacks this cynical, familiar sentiment with as much gusto and truth as Omar. Omar (Adam Bakri) is an uncomplicated baker in love with his childhood friend Tarek's (Iyad Hoorani) sister. So, Omar is a love story? Or is it a war story? A political statement? Like the enormous border wall at the heart of Hany Abu-Assad's thrilling story, the truth is somewhere in between.

What if you were given a set of guidelines, a recipe for healing? What if you were given a set of steps that, if followed to the letter, could guarantee a happy outcome for your life?
Father and daughter, Ryohei (Renji Ishibash)and Yuriko (Hiromi Nagasaku) are left bereft after family upheaval- including the loss of Otomi-Ryohei's wife and Yuriko's mother. But Otomi has left behind a recipe book- for cooking, cleaning, and nurturing one's way to a fulfilling life. What starts out as a simple family melodrama develops into a meditation on family, connection, grief, and ultimately- healing.
