The first feature by an Israeli-Druze filmmaker, Adi Adwan’s Arabani is a beautifully crafted tale about Yosef, who, newly divorced from his Jewish wife, returns to his Druze village. There he attempts to rekindle old friendships, connect with his former bride-to-be, and mend relations with his mother. Meanwhile his children – bright, irreverent, secular Jews – find that adjusting to the traditional and restrained Druze ways comes with as many adventures as dangerous pitfalls.
