"Scenes from 70 Years"

"Scenes from 70 Years" is a selection of intertwined vignettes telling the story of ordinary Palestinians at a very human level with mischievous humor. It offers snapshots of the routine of life in the shadow of occupation: we look into an Israeli household with a rebellious pro-Palestinian teenager, join a tediously long queue at an Israeli check point, and get swept into an absurd act of civil disobedience by Palestinian civilians in a desperate attempt to get worldwide media attention.
