Palestine, 1936: More and more villages are rising up against the British colonial power, which enforces its authority through violence. At the same time, European Jews who have fled Nazism are pouring into the region. The impartial Yusuf shuttles between his rural home village and the increasingly tense Jerusalem. After a fateful event, the young man sides with the resistance. As personal fates and political upheavals inexorably intertwine, the situation comes to a dramatic head—a decisive moment that marks the origin of the conflict throughout the entire region.

PALESTINE 36 precisely pinpoints the beginning of the Palestinian resistance and the turning point for the British Empire.
