Set against the evocative backdrop of early 20th-century Palestine and France, 'The Parisian' chronicles the life of Midhat Kamal, a young Palestinian dreamer. As Midhat embarks on a journey to study medicine in France, he enters a world of new experiences, including a profound love affair with Jeannette that ultimately ends in heartbreak. Upon returning to Nablus, transformed and disillusioned, he finds his homeland under British rule and in the throes of burgeoning nationalism. Torn between personal desires and communal expectations, Midhat's struggle mirrors the quest for Palestinian independence. As the narrative weaves through historical events, family sagas, and personal upheavals, 'The Parisian' delves deeply into themes of identity, power, love, and the haunting influence of history on the present.
