Norway/2018—directed by Mats Grorud | 74 min.
Based on interviews with Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, The Tower follows Wardi, an eleven-year-old Palestinian girl, who lives with her whole family in the refugee camp where she was born. Her beloved great-grandfather Sidi was one of the first people to settle in the camp after being chased from his home back in 1948.
The day Sidi gives her the key to his old house back in Galilee, she fears he may have lost hope of someday going home. As she searches for Sidi’s lost hope around the camp, she collects her family’s testimonies, from one generation to the next.
Mixing stop-motion animation and 2D techniques, The Tower portrays the Middle Eastern crisis in a manner that all generations can understand. For ages 14 and up.
