The Well (al-Bier)

Ahmad Habash’s new short film, The Well (Al-Bier) is deceptively simple, portrays a fleeting moment in the turbulent 1948 ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Three generations of males — a young man and his son and an elderly hajj — find themselves running for their lives, seeking refuge from an unseen and unnamed threat in the rolling Palestinian countryside.
