Out in the Dark

Out in the Dark (original title עלטה, 2012) is an Israeli romantic thriller you can watch online on iFILM. It marks the feature debut of director Michael Mayer.

Nimr, a Palestinian psychology student, slips across from Gaza into Tel Aviv to attend university. There he meets Roy, a young Israeli lawyer from a comfortable family, and the attraction is immediate. The ground beneath them, though, never settles. To Nimr's family he is a criminal; to Israeli security services he is leverage to be squeezed; and the border between two hostile worlds runs straight through the relationship itself. Michael Aloni and Nicholas Jacob play lovers with no safe door to walk through. This isn't a soft forbidden-romance picture — it's a tense drama where the personal and the political close in from both sides, and every choice costs something real. The ending lands hard.
