A Chronicle Of Love And Pain.
At the center of the Middle East conflict, hearts beat in tragic comedy and deadpan irony: a sexy young Palestinian woman defies Israeli soldiers and struts through a checkpoint as if it were the catwalk of a fashion show, Santa Claus is chased up the sun-drenched hills of Nazareth by a gang of knife-wielding school kids, Israeli police use a blindfolded prisoner to provide directions to tourists in Jerusalem and a female ninja descends from the sky, holding the map of 'Palestine' as her battle shield. These are but a few of the provocative images put forth in Elia Suleman's critically-acclaimed satire chronicling the absurdities of life and love on both sides of the Palestinian-Israeli border.
