Samouni Road

La strada dei Samouni

21st TDF: Greek Premiere

In the rural outskirts of Gaza City, a small community of farmers, the Samouni family, is about to celebrate a wedding. This is the first glimpse of hope since the latest dreadful war. While grief still lingers, as they replant trees and rebuild their homes, they face the most difficult task: piecing together memory, overcoming horror, moving on. A documentary about the survivors of an unspeakable tragedy and the difficult road they walk on.
