SYNOPSIS

Synopsis
After spending many years in prison, Ibrahim returns to his wife Amal and son Yousef. But things have changed. He doesn’t really know his son, Amal has become independent and has her own business and his brother Mousa is working with the Israelis. Mousa and Amal dream of building a multi-story apartment, but first they must get the Jerusalem municipality sign it off, and get Ibrahim's consent. Ibrahim, displaced, doubtful, carrying the prison's scars, is trying to navigate his rocky family life while negotiating with the enemy.

DIRECTOR'S NOTE

Director’s Note
I began writing this script when I started planning to become a father, only later realizing it was, in fact, the story of my own father. My father went to prison for his ideals, that to this day he holds on to. Ibrahim, The Doubt’s protagonist is challenged with a new reality, and has to choose between pragmatism and idealism. Creating this screenplay helped me deal with the fear and doubts of my own fatherhood.
