A picturesque fishermen village overlooking the Mediterranean, Paradise is a Palestinian enclave inside the state of Israel, with a history that ecoes stories of a massacre and deportation. When the director investigates the secret past of her village Paradise, she uncovers more than she expected. Before she knows it, she is warned by her mother: “don’t be like Sou’ad” - referring to the sad story about a rebellious “bad girl” whose story became a myth in the village. Accused and imprisoned as a PLO activist back in the 70’s, Sou’ad is more than just a role model for the young director. But when she deepening her research, her trouble really begins. A filmic-diary about recreating a lost history, and about re-defining modern womanhood within the traditional village life. |
