This film underwhelmed me despite good acting. It's basically a detective/mystery story as to why this doctor's wife became a suicide bomber. It's set in Tel Aviv, and then in Nablus. The Doctor takes it upon himself to investigate why his wife became a suicide bomber. In the end we are left with little to go on. We are given cryptic answers from the imam and then a Catholic priest. It would seem that this man did not know about this hidden life of his wife. That is what we are left with and it struck me as somewhat implausible. There is nothing particularly revealing or said about the motivations of a suicide bomber, or the personality traits of this kind of mentality. We are given a lot of loose ends that don't add up. It all seemed too fictitious for my taste. The ending is not conclusive.
