Description
A love story between two teens who have never spoken. When Omar, the night of the wedding, lifts the veils that cover his wife's face with a sword, she is terrified; but he is gentle, kind, and considerate. Thus begins the love story of Omar and Nijmeh. It will carry them through the terrifying days of the nakbe- the catastrophe of a people displaced from all they know- adjustment to exile, to life in a refugee camp, and ultimately to military occupation. Sewn into the tapestry of their life will be the cat-and-mouse game of occupier and occupied, imprisonment, tragic death and heartache. There is compromise of principles. There is immovable faith. There is also joy. It is a story based on the reality of what it meant to be Palestinian during the turbulent years of 1947-1988.
