After her parents' farm closes down, aspiring singer Lisa finds work at a modern farm run by a Palestinian family—outsiders facing significant prejudice in their conservative small town. She quickly grows close to her new boss, Dalia; their friendship evolves into a deep, albeit complicated, passion. Yet Dalia is on the verge of marrying her childhood sweetheart, while Lisa is grappling with her father’s impending death and her family’s narrow-minded attitudes... Inspired by Shamim Sarif’s own story and captured in stunning, sun-drenched visuals, the romantic drama Polarized raises vital questions about the boundaries of love, sex, and religion within the moral complexities of a small-town world. It is a film featuring powerful performances—an ode to the freedom of honest emotion and, at the same time, a deeply moving outcry against racism and intolerance. Here’s to love!
