In the fractured city of Lydda under Zionist occupation, Talib Sinwar, a quiet Palestinian banker, lives between ledgers and lies. He counts numbers for a system designed to erase his people. What begins as quiet compliance turns into silent resistance. Behind closed doors, Talib builds a shadow network of forged transfers and hidden accounts, funneling stolen wealth back to the Palestinian underground.
But with each forged signature, the noose tightens. Loved ones vanish. A trusted ally is arrested. And betrayal comes not from outside but from within his own walls. As the occupation closes in, Talib must decide whether truth can be smuggled like currency. Sprawling, intimate, and unflinchingly political, Tears of the Sun is a story of quiet rebellion, moral erosion, and the cost of survival under the weight of history.
In a land where names are stolen and archives burn, it asks; What remains when the paper trail is all that's left of a people?
