Synopsis

Salt of This Sea tells the story of Soraya, a Palestinian refugee born in Brooklyn, who discovers that her grandfather's savings were frozen in a bank account in Jaffa after he was exiled in 1948.

Direct, stubborn, and determined to reclaim what is hers, Soraya fulfills her life-long dream of "returning" to Palestine. However, as she navigates the reality of the situation, she is forced to confront her own anger.

During her journey, Soraya meets Emad, a young Palestinian with a different perspective. While Soraya wants to reclaim her roots, Emad's ambition is to leave Palestine forever.

Tired of the constraints that dictate their lives, Soraya and Emad realize that in order to be free, they must take matters into their own hands, even if it means resorting to illegal actions.
