This witty, darkly comic portrait of Ramallah's magnetic mayor offers up a refreshingly new perspective on the region's political conflicts. Mayor Musa Hadid is a celebrity of sorts in Ramallah, the de facto Palestinian capital in the central West Bank, situated just a few miles north of Jerusalem. The film follows the Christian Hadid as he tackles his immediate goals: repave the sidewalks, attract more tourism and plan the city's Christmas celebrations. Hadid's ultimate mission: to end the occupation of Palestine. Rich with detailed observation and a surprising amount of humor, Mayor offers a portrait of dignity amidst the madness and absurdity of endless occupation while posing a question: how do you run a city when you don't have a country?
