Out in the Dark

The film is set in Israel, where State of Palestine student Nimr Mashrawi (Nicholas Jacob) is heading to Tel Aviv to meet his friend Mustafa N'amnais (Loai Nofi) at a gay bar. While at the bar, he meets a local Israeli lawyer named Roy Schaefer (Michael Aloni). The pair fall in love, though Nimr struggles with the reality of their relationship. Palestinian society rejects Nimr because of his sexual orientation, whereas Israeli society rejects him due to his nationality. The situation is made worse for Nimr when he realises his brother Nabil Mashrawi (Jamil Khoury) is hiding a weapon stockpile for his militant friends.
