Poster do Filme

Sobre o filme

Yussef, a twelve-year old Palestinian, is a child of the Intifada: while his father is in prison and his brother a fugitive from the Israeli army, he lives alone with his mother and sister. Even though his life is constantly marked by violence, he lives in his imagination, often escaping from the refugee-camps to the Gaza country-side. Until he falls in love with Aida, a young gypsy girl. In order to marry her, Yussef must first find the three jewels missing from a family necklace, brought from South America by the girl’s grand-father. How can Yussef reach such a distant continent? His quest, woven into the daily lives of the people of Gaza, will lead him to his death and at the same time to his resurrection. It is thus that Yussef not only discovers the three jewels but also life and its meaning.
