SHALOM
by Meital Zvieli
80' | Hebrew, Arabic, French〡Israel
At Jerusalem’s Biblical Zoo, Rushdi—a Muslim Palestinian citizen of Israel—cares for Shalom, an aging rhinoceros nearing the end of his life. As debates over euthanasia unfold inside the zoo, war breaks out beyond its walls. When Rushdi escorts a new rhino to Jerusalem, he begins to question the very idea of captivity—both animal and human. Blending unexpected humor with emotional depth, Shalom is a cinematic parable about borders, caretaking, and the fragile possibilities of coexistence in a region forever on the brink.
