Before you is the sea

Hisham Zreiq fiction Germany | Israel | Palestine 2012 18 min.

"Before you is the sea" is a short film that tells the story of a young
Jewish woman and a young Arab man in love... but also an allegory of the
Middle East peace process, when the Camp David summit abruptly broke off,
effectively sealing the fate of the Oslo negotiations.

Working on two levels, the film captures the wrought Israeli-Palestinian
relationship, and a love fought with the burden of political adversity. A
Hisham Zreiq film, rich with symbolism, subtle hints... nothing more to
add, nothing left to take away. Great authentic acting helps audience to
identify with the protagonists.
