Bye Bye Tiberias (2023)
At 23, acclaimed actress Hiam Abbass (Succession, Ramy, The Visitor) left her Palestinian village of Deir Hanna — and the grandmother, mother, and sisters she grew up with — to pursue acting in France. Three decades later, her daughter, filmmaker Lina Soualem, joins her on a journey to retrace their family’s history: from childhood summers by Lake Tiberias, where Abbass’s grandparents were expelled in 1948, to the shifting landscapes of their ancestral home. Blending family archives, historical footage, and intimate testimony, Bye Bye Tiberias becomes a tender portrait of four generations of women bound by memory, shaped by separation, and sustained by enduring connection.
