The story

The Time That Remains (2009) is a semi-biographical film that follows Palestinian life from 1948 to the present day through the story of director Elia Suleiman's family. The plot is divided into four episodes that depict the filmmaker's father, Fouad Suleiman, as a resistance fighter in 1948, the struggles of his family under Israeli military rule in the 1960s, and finally, Elia's own experiences as an adolescent and adult. The film uses a comedic and surreal style to portray the daily life, absurdities, and humiliations of Palestinians living as a minority in their own homeland.
