Wajib
Watch TrailerShadi returns to his native Nazareth after years abroad in Italy, not for a joyous celebration but to fulfill his wajib—his duty. His task is simple yet profound: to drive through the city with his father, personally delivering wedding invitations for his sister. Trapped together in the slow crawl of traffic, the car becomes a pressure cooker for their unspoken grievances and divergent worldviews. What unfolds is a poignant, often darkly comic duet between a father anchored by tradition and a son shaped by exile, their shared bloodline strained by the silent weight of expectation and disappointment.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
A masterclass in minimalist storytelling, where the confines of a car become a universe of unspoken history and cultural collision. The film finds both humor and heartbreak in the granular details of a strained relationship, proving that the longest journeys are often measured in inches, not miles.
What lingers after the engine stops is the echo of choices made and roads not taken, a quiet testament to the bonds that burden and define us. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Annemarie Jacir

The claustrophobic intimacy of a shared car ride, punctuated by the chaotic symphony of honking horns outside.
