Love, Theft and Other Entanglements + Ave Maria (short)
Love, Theft and Other Entanglement
Dir. Muayad Alayan, 2015, drama/thriller, 1h 30 min, Palestine, Subtitled
Mousa gets into the trouble of his life when he steals the wrong car. What he thought was an Israeli car and an easy way to make money in his impoverished Palestinian refugee camp turns out to be a load of misfortune when he discovers a kidnapped Israeli soldier in the trunk. Mousa’s hopes of paying the bribe that will guarantee him an exit visa out of the country and away from his wrecked love affair dissipate as he finds himself on the run from Palestinian militias and the Israeli intelligence.
The director Muayad Alayan will be joining us for a Skype Q&A.
