Set in a Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan in 1967, When I Saw You depicts life on a Harir camp from a child’s point of view. Tarek (Mahmoud Asfa) and his mother (Ruba Blal) live in hope that eventually his father will find them and together they will return to the family’s homeland. By turns tender and mischievous, its playful surface doesn’t conceal this film’s serious message: that, over five decades, little has changed for children like Tarek.
