SAMOUNI ROAD

Synopsis

In the rural outskirts of Gaza City, a small community of farmers, the extended Samouni family, is about to celebrate a wedding. It’s going to be the first celebration since the latest war. Amal, Fuad, their brothers and cousins have lost their parents, their houses and their olive trees. The neighbourhood where they live is being rebuilt. As they replant trees and plow fields, they face their most difficult task: piecing together their own memory. Through these young survivors’ recollections, SAMOUNI ROAD conveys a deep, multi-faceted portrait of a family before, during and after the tragic event that changed its life forever.
