Please Rise is a political drama about a committee that is formed to choose a new national anthem after a fictional Middle-Eastern dictatorship goes through a revolution. Set in a meeting room, the film shows committee members peacefully arriving at a unanimous decision – that is then suspiciously disqualified due to the songwriter’s ties to the previous regime.
