Holy Lands

In "Holy Lands", a seemingly ordinary American Jewish retired cardiologist's unexpected decision to leave his high-stress life behind and start a pig farm in Nazareth, Israel sets off a chain reaction of chaos and transformation among his estranged family. As the film follows this dysfunctional group as they navigate their complex relationships and confront their own personal demons, it raises questions about identity, community, and the search for belonging. Based on Amanda Sthers' novel "Les Terres saintes", this comedy-drama explores the human condition with humor, heart, and nuance, offering a refreshingly authentic portrayal of family dynamics and cultural clashes.
