GAZA MON AMOUR
60-year-old bachelor Issa leads a quiet, lonely life as a simple fisherman in the port of Gaza. He is secretly in love with the widow Siham, whom he watches every day at her market stall, where she works as a seamstress. However, his courtship is so hidden and slow that he makes little progress. When he catches something unusual in his net one day, his quiet life is turned upside down: an ancient statue of Apollo with an unmistakably erect penis plunges the fisherman into chaos. Such an obscene figure brings the Gaza Strip's morality police onto the scene. Issa has to step up his game to free himself from the clutches of the authorities and at the same time finally get his love life under control.
With their simple story, the Palestinian twin brothers Nasser manage to touch on the socio-political issues that shape life in the Gaza Strip: economic misery, bombings, fear and insecurity. But GAZA MON AMOUR is not a quiet drama: first and foremost, the film is a charming, funny comedy about the great power of late love.
