Storyline:
A Palestinian boy becomes entranced with a beautiful Gypsy girl and a fairy tale world she weaves amidst conflict in Gaza. The children explore nature, mysticism and what their future holds, while learning to live with the surrounding brutality c. 1990. Yusef’s family scrapes by in a seaside camp while his father’s in prison and his heavily-armed brother’s on the run, parrying with Israeli troops. Salah, Yusef’s schoolmate from a well-off Arab family strives faithfully to assist them, while Yusef helps an elderly, blind neighbor escape from his lonely abandonment into the North American dreamworld he’s waited so long for.
User review:
A little boy and a young woman go through several portals of life, depicted as initiations, to learn that life and dreams are but aspects of one and the same, seen from different vantage points. This very classical tale unfolds against the background of occupied Gaza, where everyday life, though difficult enough, still has enough of a cultural backdrop to allow the musings of growing up to reflect a rich inner life. The film carries no political message except for those who seek it between the folds of the settings, and it is marvelously pure and gentle.

“Occupied Palestine” doesn’t exist as a location (iMDB I guess). There has never been a “Palestine”, for one. The location is within the area called the Gaza strip. Which city, may be interesting to know perhaps.
