All That’s Left of You offers an intimate portrait of a Palestinian family across seven decades. Set in the occupied West Bank of the 1980s, the film follows a teenager who becomes caught in a protest that irrevocably alters the course of his family’s life. In the aftermath, his mother, Hanan, looks back and shares the story that brought them to that pivotal moment.

This sweeping and deeply human epic traces three generations bound together by memory, love, and an unyielding will to survive 75 years of political upheaval.

Directed and starring Palestinian filmmaker Cherien Dabis, the film is the first feature to depict the beginnings of the Nakba. Widely acclaimed on the international festival circuit, it has been selected as Jordan’s entry for the 98th Academy Award and officially shortlisted for an Oscar.
