A Bottle in the Gaza Sea
Une bouteille à la mer
Synopsis
Tai is 17 years old. Naim is 20. She's Israeli. He's Palestinian. She lives in Jerusalem. He lives in Gaza. They were born in a land of scorched earth, where fathers bury their children. They must endure an explosive situation that is not of their choosing at an age where young people are falling in love and taking their place in adult life. A bottle thrown in the sea and a correspondence by email nurture the slender hope that their relationship might give them the strength to confront this harsh reality to grapple with it, and thereby ever so slightly change it. Only 60 miles separate them but how many bombings, check-points, sleepless nights and bloodstained days stand between them?

Foreign Language Films I Have Seen
Here I will list all the foreign language films I have seen, good, bad, and ugly. By foreign language I mean any film where the main language NOT English. I have also included movies that are majority English but deal with particular themes, like different ethnicities, religions, languages. I will not list any Indian-language films here (Hindi, Punjabi, Telugu etc) because I have a separate list for that! World cinema is amazing because they have so much flavour and beauty that a lot of English films cannot create. I definitely recommend some, if not all of these films to you! You may see a pattern in the films I choose to watch. Like with my Indian film list, I've first listed films I remember and then later on, they are in sequential watch order.
