Najwa Najjar knoched this one straigh out of the ball park. No spoilers here, because this movie is an adventure that deserves to be enjoyed and savoured from beginning to end. I'll just say, from beginning to end, I had a silly smirk on my face and a swelling lump in my throat untill I gushed out into tears at the end ...There is something so captivating about the bitter-sweet combination of an anguished love story and the quest for one's origins, coupled with the heartbreakingly beautiful backdrops across Palestine's peotic landscape.
Whether you are a supporter of Palestine or not, it's worth watching. It's a great film simply because it's a great film.. great story, great actors, great cinematography, great music, seamless editing.. the fact that IS a Palestinian story is the cherry on top. This new brand of Palestinian films shedding light on the HUMANITY OF Palestine and its people through universally relatable stories is doing a bigger service to raising international awareness and empathy for the rights of persecuted Palestinians than decades of organised political efforts.
Hats off the all those involved in this wonderful film. Can't wait to watch what you do next.
