'Not Here, Not There') is a 2016 Palestinian-Israeli-French film directed by Maysaloun Hamoud, about three women of Palestinian heritage sharing a flat in Tel Aviv.

Salma hides her lesbian identity from her family, and Nour is trapped in an engagement to a man she does not love and who does not support her personal aspirations.

Even in the heart of Tel Aviv’s liberal society, where the three have found a degree of refuge, they struggle to feel a sense of belonging due to their Arab identity.

The website's critical consensus reads, "In Between takes a light yet nuanced approach to dramatizing complex, timely themes, further enriched by outstanding cinematography and powerful performances.
