Eid, an Israeli-Bedouin, defies arranged marriage and social expectations to pursue his dream of creating theater and find artistic freedom.
Eid is a young Israeli-Bedouin forced into an arranged marriage. He struggles against family and social obligations to pursue his dream of creating theater and find the artistic freedom he craves.
Eid, a 20-year-old Bedouin, dreams of love, writing, and creating theater in a society where fate is predetermined. Silenced by his culture and the secrets of his family's tragic history, Eid is forced into an arranged marriage with Abeer. He emotionally withdraws, finding solace in his secret writings and an online connection with Dunia, a married actress in Paris.
Navigating the complexities of his desires and the expectations of his culture, Eid must confront the challenges that threaten to stifle his voice. Can he find a way to live his life with Abeer? Will he reconcile with his father, who sold their family's lands, condemning them to a life of betrayal? How will he come to terms with the society that has shaped him, the trauma that haunts him, and the man he yearns to become?
In this groundbreaking first feature by Bedouin creators, "Eid" delves into a young man's struggle to break free from the constraints of his culture and forge his own destiny. Through Eid's intimate narrative, the film invites audiences to witness a powerful story of self-discovery, resilience, and the unyielding pursuit of one's dreams against all odds.
