In between

Israeli drama directed by Maysaloun Hamoud and starring Mouna Hawa, Sana Jammelieh and Shaden Kanboura.

Independent lawyer Layla refuses to compromise on her underground lifestyle, gay DJ Salma maintains a facade of propriety in the presence of her conservative Christian family and traditionally educated Muslim girl Nour is studying for a degree at Tel Aviv University. Despite their varied backgrounds and lifestyles, they each share their minority position in their society as well as their struggle to find romantic partners capable of accepting their complex lives.
