Israel’s official submission for the 2017 Foreign Language Film Academy Award®, San Storm, will launch on Netflix Friday, December 15, 2016.

Official Synopsis: Sand Storm follows the wedding festivities in a Bedouin village in Southern Israel. Jalila (Ruba Blal) finds herself in the awkward position of hosting her husband Suliman’s marriage to a second, much younger wife. During the celebration, Jalila stumbles across her eldest daughter Layla’s (Lamis Ammar) involvement with a boy from her university—a strictly forbidden liaison that would shame the family. Burying the indignity of Suliman (Hitham Omari) and his new bride living next door, Jalila also tries to contain Layla’s situation by clamping down on her. But Layla sees a different life for herself…
