Director Muayad Alayan masterfully creates a sense of foreboding in this moving study of love and loss.

12-year-old Rebecca (Miley Locke), together with her father (Johnny Harris), relocates from the UK to Jerusalem seeking a fresh start following the tragic death of her mother. Their old family home in the Valley of the Ghosts becomes the setting for mysterious events and an unlikely friendship between Rebecca and Rasha, a young Palestinian girl only she can see. Could it be that the walls of the house are infused with the history and emotions of past generations or is Rasha simply a figment of Rebecca's imagination?

As Rebecca delves deeper into the secrets of the house, she discovers Rasha's true identity and the shared loss that binds them.

A House in Jerusalem is a poignant tale exploring memory, trauma, and the longing for home amidst the complexities of relations between Israel and Palestine.
