Lipstikka (Odem)

Synopsis

Lipstikka is a psychological drama which depicts the emotional and sexual bond between Lara and Inam, two Palestinian teenage girls from the West Bank. In the midst of the political turmoil of the 1st Intifada, they decide to break the curfew imposed by the Israel military, and sneak into the Jewish part of Jerusalem to see a movie. What begins as a youthful prank, soon evolves into a twisted set of events.

Fifteen years later, they meet in London as adult women, and realise that what they remember from their past may not necessarily reflect what indeed happened. [A UK/Israel co-production]
