An Iserli film about an Iserli Minister of Defense having to face a lemon grove owned by a lonely, quiet Palestine woman who has tended the land for 50 years.
In the name of security, a lot of things happen. But the real battles are fought internally, or with eyes and unspoken words. Abbass is a master with such expression. She draws the audience close, but keeps them at an aloof distance sinultaneously. It's... beautiful to watch her skill. Lipaz-Michael is a match! She plays her role as quietly as Abbass presents hers. Both women are powerful in their presence.
The artistic beauty is not lacking, though there is nothing that striked me more than the wall. How immense and frail a wall can be...
Don't doubt lemons!
