I don’t believe in the term political film, and find it outdated. Everything is political in this day and age and whatever you say, do or think has some kind of political impact or feedback. Decisions taken by distant policy makers have an immediate effect on people everywhere, in particular when you live in a “danger zone” like the Middle East, but also if you live in New York, Paris or Berlin for that matter. So Lemon Tree is not political – it is about people trapped in a political deadlock–Writer-Director Eran Riklis

It's that grand idea of being able to go back and change the whole trajectory of your life. If you went back armed with the knowledge that you have now, what decisions would you alter and what would the outcome be?–Zac Efron
