A folk legend that spread through Palestinian villages during the days of Ottoman rule tells of a mysterious man who kidnaps naughty children. Ahmad, with his unexplained secrecy and unusual dress, is suspected of being just such a kidnapper. Yet, there is good reason for his behaviour his brother Khalil, a refugee from Lebanon, has snuck back into the village. Nassar's film, while scarcely showing a physical Israeli presence, offers an extraordinary view of the diffuse emotional violence of the conflict, capable of tearing families, lovers and whole villages apart.
Winner: Special Jury Award – Jerusalem Film Festival, 2003
