Tea Break 1983

When the enemy asks for tea

Based on a True Story In 1983, during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, Mustafa, a 19-year-old Palestinian, works at Al-Raee Hospital in the city of Sidon. While on duty, an Israeli military patrol suddenly enters the hospital and orders him to prepare tea for the soldiers. What begins as a simple request quickly turns into a life-defining moment. Standing alone in the hospital kitchen, Mustafa is confronted with an impossible choice: should he seize the opportunity and kill the soldiers, poison their tea, or step back and preserve his own life?
