‘The First Supper’ is a one-night philosophical dinner with six young people from the Middle East, symbols of a generation that has known nothing but political upheaval.
‘The First Supper’ is a creative documentary that takes place behind closed doors in an isolated house on an island. The protagonists of various Middle Eastern countries and backgrounds gather for dinner. They are a Syrian who fled his country during the civil war; an Egyptian who lived through the events of Tahrir Square; an Iranian who has followed the Green Revolution in Tehran; and three young Israelis from different ideological backgrounds. They confront one another, each obsessed with their own history, each seeing themselves as victims, each accusing the other. But one question remains: how to live with one’s antagonist; the one who is different and who has opposing needs?
