| Synopsis | Winner of the International Critics’ Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, this beautifully shot feature from Tawfik Abu Wael powerfully narrates a state of extreme isolation. The lead character of Abu Shukri and his family have settled alone in a valley far from their home town. The circumstances behind their move to this place are obscure, leaving us wondering about its causes.Tyrannical father Shukri, rules the home with an iron fist, with his wife and three children spending harsh days making charcoal. When he decides to build a pipeline to bring fresh water to their home, it awakens their instinct for freedom, but carries with it tragic consequences for the entire family. |
