In this edge-of-your-seat thriller inspired by real events, a British police officer and a Jewish woman fall in love amidst the political turmoil of 1930s Tel Aviv. With British control over Palestine precarious and conflict inevitable, everyone is forced to choose a side. From acclaimed director Michael Winterbottom (The Trip, A Mighty Heart), Shoshana is a political thriller set in a brand-new European, Jewish city being built on the shores of the Mediterranean.

Thomas Wilkin (Douglas Booth) is in love with the city and with Shoshana Borochov (Irina Starshenbaum). Through their relationship, the film explores how extremism and violence push people apart, forcing them to choose one side or the other.

Wilkin works alongside Geoffrey Morton (Harry Melling) in the anti-terrorist squad of the British Palestine Police, chasing the charismatic poet and underground leader Avraham Stern (Aury Alby), who believes Israel can only be built through violence. His two main targets are Wilkin and Morton.

Shoshana, like most of Tel Aviv, is modern, progressive, and feminist. She hates the politics of Stern and his followers—but as the violence builds, everyone must decide which side they will fight on.
