In 1936 Palestine, Yusuf moves between his village and Jerusalem as an Arab revolt against British rule grows.

In 1936, Palestine is in the grip of an Arab revolt against British colonial control. Yusuf (Karim Daoud Anaya) shuttles between his village and Jerusalem, where Palestinian journalists work under increasing censorship. A female journalist writes under a male name. As Jewish refugees escape antisemitism in Europe and some arrive with Zionist-colonial ambitions, the Palestinian population unites in a major uprising against Britain's thirty-year mandate. British officials such as Charles Tegart (Liam Cunningham) and High Commissioner Wauchope (Jeremy Irons) confront a decisive moment for the empire and the region. The film follows multiple characters caught in the growing unrest.
