Fate
grants Terek (Shredi Jabarin), a young Palestinian on a suicide
bombing mission, an unexpected window into Israeli society, and
leads to a reluctant compassion for a small corner of Tel Aviv and
its mysterious kiosk worker, Karen (Hili Yalon). But his growing
affections come with the knowledge that his mission coordinator will
remotely detonate the explosive vest at the weekend’s close, and his
new lease on life conflicts with his oath to redeem his father’s
honor. “For My Father” is an unsettling story of father figures,
conflicting patriotic duties, and impossible decisions.
