In Palestine, when someone dies as a direct result of the struggle, they make a poster and plaster them everywhere. Abou Salem prints these posters and one day he must print the poster of his only son.
The Poster is an intimate, deeply human look at the life on the cultural divides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

— Pat Donnelly, Montreal Gazette
“The Poster is a beautifully-designed production (especially Diana Uribe's set), directed with pace and vigour by Arianna Bardesono…”
