| Title: | | Director: | Ali Nasser | | Year: | 1997 | | Language: | Arabic (English subtitles) | | Duration: | 105 minutes | |
Ali Nasser's 'period piece' is set in the Galilee in 1964, where Israel's Palestinian subjects, still living under the military regime that prevailed until 1966, are obliged to negotiate a range of social and political obstacles as they go about their lives. Following the experiences of Mabruq, the innocent and good hearted young man upon whom the role of the village fool is imposed, the film cuts deep into the heart of the controversial issues of collaboration, traditional authority and forbidden passion. In so doing it offers emotional and personal testimony to a time and place in recent Palestinian history too often ignored in writing as well as film. | | |
