The Syrian Bride

The Syrian Bride is about the travails of an Druze family in the Golan Heights. Of course, they are in a way stateless. So when a girl in the family is to be married to a Syrian guy crossing the border becomes an issue and red tape rears its head.

There are a number of other threads and subplots about other members of the family. There is the estranged older brother of the bride who was excommunicated from the clan because he married a Russian. There are the tensions between the aspirations of the older sister and her husband’s fear of societal reaction.

It is a good movie, worth watching. I would rate it 8/10.
