Mas que filme. "Prefiro morrer (para o Paraíso) do que viver no Inferno." Não se trata de ser um filme pro-palestino ou anti-judaico (seja, israelita) mas a modelação de emoções humanas e o quão insignificantes (como pessoas) todos nós somos em relação às políticas demográficas que se implementam. Também; trata-se de um filme sobre a fé e a religião - e todos os pontos positivos e negativos que acarretam. Essencial!

Tightly created, tensely received. A great film for its technique and obvious thematic relevance: Palestine is still occupied by Israel.
