MOUNTAIN

Jerusalem. An Orthodox woman lives with her family in the Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives. Her marriage is stale and she is left home alone all day; there aren’t many distractions in her life aside from her long walks among the tombstones. One night, she decides to go on one of her walks despite the darkness, and stumbles upon a couple having sex. Excited by this vision, the woman starts exploring this new nocturnal world, increasingly unable to stop the attraction for all those denied things. 

“I am interested in exploring characters through the use of landscape, and placing them in extreme settings that both limit them and enable their transformation. In my short film Diploma I followed the dilemmas and struggles of a Palestinian boy in the unique setting of the city Hebron. Here, I would like to explore the physical and spiritual predicament of a woman, in a tremendously charged location at the crossroads of the world’s three major religions.”
