‘Samouni Road - Stefano Savona’

In the rural outskirts of the city of Gaza, the Samouni family is getting ready to celebrate a wedding. It’s the first celebration since the last war. Amal, his brothers and their cousins have lost their parents, their houses and their olive trees. Their neighbourhood is under reconstruction. They replant trees and work in the fields, but an even more difficult task faces these survivors: rebuilding their own memory. Through their memories, Samouni Road paints a portrait of this family before, during and after the event which changed their lives for ever.

The portrait of a family… that has been decimated. A crucial work which explores the different facets of an infinitely complex reality.

Winner of the Golden Eye Award for the best documentary, Directors Fortnight, Cannes Film Festival 2018.
