The Passport
by Julia Galaski
Description
How does a nationality affect our relationship to the world, to others and the ways they see us?
Born in Brussels to a German mother and Franco-Israeli father, a young woman leaves for the Middle East and the Maghreb to retrace the footsteps of her father’s family. But the unexpected acquisition of an Israeli passport upsets her plans. How can she carry the passport of a country at war, which generates the hostility of her friends? From Jerusalem to Ramallah, from Cairo to Algiers, from Rabat to Berlin and Paris, The Passport questions our relationship to history and borders, to languages and remembrance, to national identities and family ties.
