Pomegranates and Myrrh traces the story of free spirited dancer, Kamar, and her joyful wedding to Zaid. Celebrations are cut short almost immediately by Zaid’s imprisonment in an Israeli jail for refusing to give up his land. Free-spirited Kamar wants to support her husband but struggles with the idea of continuing to dance and pursuing her own dreams. Pomegranates and Myrrh is a touching portrayal of what it means to battle for one’s dreams against the realities of social taboo and war. “In every pomegranate, there is one seed that comes from heaven” Old Arab proverb
