Synopsis

Bye Bye Tiberias is a deeply personal documentary by filmmaker Lina Soualem, tracing the lives of four generations of women in her Palestinian family. At its heart is her mother, the acclaimed actress Hiam Abbass, who left her village in Galilee to pursue her acting dreams. Drawing on family archives and intimate home footage, Soualem crafts a lyrical reflection on identity, memory and displacement. The film explores what is passed down—through stories, silence and resilience—as it revisits the landscapes of a homeland fragmented by exile. With grace and honesty, Bye Bye Tiberias offers a powerful act of remembrance and resistance, reclaiming histories too often erased.
