This is the first Palestinian feature film made in Palestine by a Palestinian director. It is a lyrical, passionate tale of a Palestinian wedding that takes place in an occupied village, and the contemporary tensions, contradictions and hostilities that surrounding it. The village mayor, mukhtar, wants to celebrate his son’s wedding with the traditional elaborate ceremony despite the curfew imposed by the Israeli officials. The Israeli military governor initially refuses, but finally allows the wedding to take place on the condition that he and his staff are invited. The film takes place over two days with the tension mounting between members of the family pitted against each other in face of the Israelis, culminating in the groom’s failure to consummate his marriage, his attempt to knife his father, whom he blames for his humiliating impotence.

The film will be subtitled in Albanian and offered for free to the public.

The program is made possible through the “Cultural Spaces of Kosovo Project”, supported by the European Union.
