Sommarscen

Sommarscen has become a tradition for Malmo Arab Film Festival and on August 5, 2017 it is time again! This time at Bulltofta Motioncenter in Malmö.

Malmo Arab Film Festival – MAFF is proud to present Sophie Boutros’s feature film Solitaire. In the film we meet Therese, wife of the mayor of a small Lebanese village, who with great pleasure prepares the house for a visit from her daughter’s fiancé and family. Excited for the meeting, she’s talking and sharing her excitement with old pictures of her brother who unfortunately passed away by a Syrian bomb.

It’s not until the fiancé and his whole family is standing on her porch that she’s realizing they’re all from Syria. Therese decides to do everything in her power to break the engagement.
