Palms and Pomegranates, set in a fictional Mediterranean country, is an intimate portrait of a privileged family caught up in life-altering times, as their country is increasingly oppressed by radical forces. Perin, Western-educated and comfortably living abroad, feels the need to return home because of her deep ties to family, tradition and culture.
Unexpected events force her to struggle between her family's concerns and her desire to fight suppression, evolving into immeasurable dangers for her loved ones.
Her journey is told through everyday life and through ancient cultural traditions like hamman ceremonies, facial morphology and trance dancing.
