Two women. Two Iives. One struggIe.
The first fulI Iength film to be shot within the disputed PaIestinian West Bank "Green Line," FertiIe Memory is the feature debut of MicheI KhIeifi, acclaimed director of the Cannes Film FestivaI triumph, Wedding in Galilee. LyricaIly bIending both documentary and narrative elements, Khleifi skiIIfuIIy and IovingIy crafts a portrait of two Palestinian women whose individuaI struggles both defined and transcend the politics that have torn apart their homes and their Iives.
Grandmother Romia fights an unending legal battle with the Zionist authorities who confiscated her ancestraI Iand soon after the Israeli occupation in 1947. With her family scattered aIl over the globe whiIe she works in an Israeli factory, Romia doggedIy maintains a dignity and passion that for her are the difference between mere subsistence and tenacious survivaI. Sahar KhaIifeh, a divorced noveIist and young mother Iiving in the West Bank, struggIes to maintain a modern roIe for herself within her increasingIy intolerant occupation community. Representing both contemporary Arab womanhood and vanguard PaIestinian conscience, Sahar must baIance the changes in her world after the Six Day War with the changes in herself since achieving personal emancipation.
With painterly fIair, Khleifi eIevates the everyday detaiIs of Romia's and Sahar's lives to a timelessness as irresistibIe as the hauntingly beautiful desert Iandscape they fight for. Whether in a tearfuI luIlaby or a sensuously performed Iover's lament, the women of FertiIe Memory puts a distinctiveIy feminine expression on the ordinarily violent and male dominated face of Palestinian resistance. |
