The Villagers

Nidal Badarny Fiction Palestine 2015 11 min.

A tempestuous Palestinian love story alongside the ‘separation wall’. The story heads towards an end when Majdi decides to leave the country since his dreams and the plums can no longer find their space given the circumstances. His love, Salma, tries to stop him, but to no avail. Suddenly, Majdi and Salma escape from their secret love-nest near the wall, after ‘Abu Mustafa’ discovers their story. The tragic love story ends and a new story begins with a new protagonist, Abu Mustafa, with the same wall that remains present in all details. giant, grey, absurd. Simply an absurd film, because cinema is frivolous. cinema is absurd.
