Set in the tense atmosphere following the 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and the subsequent (first) election of Benjamin Netanyahu, Suleiman’s debut feature expresses the uncertainties of Palestinian daily life through a disconnected, disquieting and comic series of vignettes.
Starring Suleiman himself along with many of his family members, the director’s innate humanism and his film’s eclectic tapestry combine for a movingly egalitarian experience.
Winner of the Luigi De Laurentiis Award for a Debut Film at the 1996 Venice Film Festival.
