四段生命歷程、四道歲月軌跡，這部半自傳電影橫跨六十年光陰，從以色列靠槍桿建國起始，走過巴勒斯坦群起暴動的混亂街頭，旁觀了坦克橫行的荒謬生活，也見證了冰冷隔離的戰火人生。電影大師蘇萊曼再度自導自演，以賈克大地式的荒謬戲謔口吻，將以色列佔領下巴勒斯坦人的歷史悲涼，濃縮成漫不經心的悠然回憶，悲喜交雜中更顯大師風采。

The Time That Remains is a semi-biographical film of Elia Suleiman. It’s inspired by his father's private diaries and his mother's letters to family members who were forced to leave the country. Combined with his intimate memories of them, the film attempts to portray the daily life of those Palestinians who remained and were labelled 'Israeli-Arabs', living as a minority in their own homeland.
