The Root of the Olive Tree is one of the most talked-about movies released in 2024, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
The Root of the Olive Tree tells the story of five Palestinians living far from their homeland who recount their experiences in the face of the intensification of the genocide and the Israeli occupation that has lasted more than 76 years. From afar, Watan, Omaima, Murid, Baylasan, and Bassel share stories of struggle, loss, and hope. Through their letters, their everyday life and memories—interwoven with the pain of being far away—they express their unwavering faith in a free future for Palestine, always with the constant support of Cuba, the country that has welcomed them.
