Summary: The 2008 Israeli film ‘Lemon Tree’ stars the alluring Hiam Abbass in the role of Salma Zidane a Palestinian widow struggling to maintain her home and lemon tree orchard against the encroachment of her new neighbor Israel Naron (Doron Tavory), the Israeli Prime Minister. The high ranking official sees the orchard as an imminent danger to his families safety, a place where terrorist and snipers can move freely about hidden behind the foliage. Within a matter of days a fence and imposing guard towers rise between the two properties robbing Salma of her privacy and personal space. If that wasn’t enough problems escalate to the point where the continued existence of the lemon trees are threatened. Using his political power and influence the Prime Minister plans to have the orchard destroyed thus threatening Salma’s only source of income. Can one lone Palestinian woman fight and defeat the “Powers that Be” while maintaining her dignity and self reliance in a male dominated society?

Critique: ‘Lemon Tree’ explores on of the most reoccurring themes in Israeli films, the theme of boundaries. The lemon tree orchard symbolizes more than just a physical buffer between hostile neighbors. It is a boundary between rich and poor, the powerful and the powerless, Jew and Arab, male and female. While the storyline moves along rather slowly the introspective nature of the film more than makes up for the pace. As the viewer gains deeper and deeper glimpses into the lives and concerns of both households one begins to sympathize not only with Salma but with Mira (Rona Lipaz-Michael), the Prime Minister’s wife who finds herself torn between the opposing positions of the two rivals.

I’m a big fan of Hiam Abbass and as always she delivers a stellar performance. She’s strong, defiant and determined while at the same time retaining a sense of sensitivity, vulnerability and feminism that is irresistible. Well worth a watch or two. Another film you might enjoy if you like this one is ‘The Syrian Bride’.
