La puissante adaptation de Yousry Nasrallah du roman de l'écrivain libanais Elias Khoury, relatant cinquante années de dépossession, d'exil et de résistance du peuple palestinien. Le film montre la fuite de Younes, de sa femme Nahila et de leur entourage, depuis leur village du nord de la Palestine jusqu'à un camp de réfugiés au Liban. Certains s'engagent à continuer la lutte, alors que la plupart tente simplement de survivre. En y détaillant l'impact de la nakba (désastre) sur la société palestinienne et les relations souvent conflictuelles des réfugiés avec des hôtes libanais réticents, La porte du soleil s'étend sur plusieurs générations, mêlant des histoires personnelles à des événements historiques.

This true story is of Ivan Sanchin, the KGB officer who was Stalin's private film projectionist from 1939 until Stalin's death. Told from Sanchin's view, the sympathetic but tragically flawed hero maintains unwavering faith in his "Master" despite the arrest of his neighbors and his involvement with their daughter, his wife's affair with the chilling State Security chief Lavrentii Beria and her tragic decline, and the deadly political machinations within the Kremlin he witnesses firsthand.
