Declaration
film director
“In the current context that is so unjust toward newcomers in Europe, I released this film to tell one of the many stories of arrival. It’s the beginning of an exile to Hazem, the main character who comes from Palestine. To him the new adjustment is as generous as it’s full of griefs, to us it might be the beginning of a journey to fall in love with the stranger again.”
