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.

Twin brothers Tarzan and Arab Nasser hail from Gaza. They were
born in 1988, one year after the last cinemas in Gaza were closed.
After graduating in fine arts from Al-Aqsa University, the brothers
developed their passion for filmmaking. In May 2013, their short
film Condom Lead premiered in official competition at the Cannes
Film Festival as the first Palestinian film in this section. Dégradé is
their first feature film selected in competition at La Semaine de la
Critique.
