This Must Be Heaven - DVD

Elia Suleiman, the main character and narrator, flees Palestine in search of an alternative home, only to realise that Palestine is always with him.

The promise of a new life soon turns into a comedy of errors. No matter how far he travels, from Paris to New York, something always reminds him of home: the police, border controls, and racism are never far away. And while he does everything he can to fit into a new society, everyone constantly reminds him where he comes from.

As he wanders, questions, and searches for himself, Elia Suleiman poses a fundamental question: what can we truly call home? The film is a burlesque saga exploring identity, nationality, and belonging, in which humour brings new hope for others and for Suleiman himself.
