A House in Jerusalem is a 2023 Palestinian fantasy thriller film directed by Muayad Alayan. It premiered in February 2023 at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.[2] The film tells the story of a Jewish-British girl Rebecca and her father who move to Israel into a West Jerusalem home, where she encounters the ghost of a Palestinian girl named Rasha whom only she can see. Rasha's family was expelled from that home during the 1948 Palestine war known as the Nakba. Eventually, Rebecca makes a visit to Bethlehem's Aida Camp in the Israeli-occupied West Bank to repay a past debt after her father had thrown out Rasha's doll, and in search of the house's historical owners. The film's screenplay was written by Muayad and Rami Musa Alayan, two Palestinian brothers. It was released by Netflix in early 2024.[3]
