- Summary:
- Como muchas familias palestinas, la familia Amer vive rodeada por el muro en Cisjordania. Su vida cotidiana está dominada por puertas electrificadas, candados y la presencia constante de soldados. A través de un lente sensible, descubrimos el mundo privado de los ocho miembros de la familia. En el transcurrir de sus días se revelan sus luchas constantes y los pequeños detalles de su vida: incluyendo las amistades de la escuela, árboles de olivo y dos burros. La historia de la familia Amer constituye un punto de partida para hacer una compleja reflexión sobre los efectos de la segregación racial, las fronteras y lo absurdo de la guerra. El documental nos revela un mundo desconocido del pueblo palestino.
- Like many Palestinian families, the Amers live surrounded by the infamous West Bank Wall. Their daily lives are dominated by electrified fences, locks and a constant swarm of armed soldiers. Through a sensitive lens we discover the private world of all eight members of the family. As their dramas unfold we catch a glimpse of their constant struggles and the small, endearing details that sustain them: including school friends, olive trees and two small donkeys. The story of the Amer family offers its audience an opportunity to reflect on the effects of racial segregation, the meaning of borders and the absurdity of war. This documentary reveals the unknown life of the Palestinian people.
