GAZA MON AMOUR
Palestine, France, Germany, Portugal, Qatar I 2020 I Arabic dialogue with English subtitles l 85 min
Issa, a 65-year-old fisherman in Gaza, is secretly in love with dressmaker Siham. Just as he’s ready to pop the question, an ancient statue of Apollo is caught in his fishing net and trouble is on the way, as Hamas is determined to lay its hands on the valuable treasure. A bittersweet and low-key dramedy that casts a tender glance to its gentle protagonist, an impenitent romantic
who defies repression, conservatism, and age stereotypes, making a stand for love.
