Superior drama about an endangered Palestinian-owned lemon grove at Israel’s West Bank border serves as a poignant microcosm of the ongoing strife between Palestinians and Jews in Israel. The Syrian Bride’s Eran Riklis again shows his gift for storytelling, affinity for fine acting, and sensitivity to a seemingly endless, complex and frustrating political standoff.
