Inspired by real events, Shoshana is a political thriller set in the 1930s in Tel Aviv, a brand new city being built on the shores of the Mediterranean. Thomas Wilkin is in love with the city and with beautiful Shoshana. But Wilkin also works in the anti-terrorist squad of the British Palestine Police force, chasing the charismatic poet and underground Zionist Avraham Stern. A film which explores the way extremism and violence pushes people apart, forcing them to choose one side or the other.
