Balconies

An experimental short film that looks at all the balconies left unfinished in director Kamal Aljafari’s hometown of Ramla, in the central district of Israel. What are we to think when, to paraphrase García Lorca, our home is no longer our home?

The Roof

Meditation and a familial and personal portrait. This documentary takes Kamal Aljafari, who lived in Germany at the moment, to visit relatives in Palestine. He walks through his father’s family’s Ramla and his mother’s family’s Jaffa, weaving the history of the country with that of his parents, the memories of 1948 with the conversations with his sister who, like him, also holds an Israeli passport.
