'All That's Left of You' directed by Cherien Dabis, chronicles 75 years of a Palestinian family’s journey from the Nakba in 1948 through the Intifada in 1988 to contemporary times. The narrative beautifully intertwines personal and historical trauma, focusing on Hanan's perspective as she reflects on her family’s past and her son’s fate. A significant moment illustrates the burden of inheritance concerning suffering, as the story unfolds amidst stunning cinematography that marries personal anecdotes with the broader Palestinian experience, enriching the film's depth and emotional resonance.
