"AL BIER / The Well " Teaser trailer ©2011

A Jerusalem First Films Production

A short film by Ahmad Habash

AL Bier
(The Well | Le Puits | Der Brunnen)

Synopsis:

During the 1948 war in Palestine and just one day after a massacre which shocked the world, an Old man encounters a young man and a boy running for their lives.
The Old man, who is more familiar with the area, leads the way, as it is discovered that the three Palestinians share the common interest of leaving their homeland for a safer place. Unknown what lies ahead, their journey is sidetracked from the start by the enemy who show up this beautiful Spring day.
They flee, fearing that if caught, they will be unquestionably killed. The three run and hide from place to place until they take shelter in an abandoned well; fairy-tailed to possess magical powers.
While hiding, they encounter a traumatic incident intermixing strangely with the breath-taking nature surrounding them. They suffer a humiliation so complex their outlook on life is changed forever.

Co-Produced by: The Production Support Project, An initiative by A.M.Qattan Foundation in Collaboration with the Representative Office of the Kingdom of the Netherlands for the Palestinian Authority
