SynopsisFROM PALESTINE WITH LOVE
Palestine / Denmark 2010
Mahasen Nasser-Eldin / Camilla Magid 25 min.
"The circus girl Mays is 22 years old, lives in the occupied Palestinian territories and is planning a life with her Swedish boyfriend Caspar in Stockholm, where she wants to study at the university. But it's a large step from dream to reality, and from Ramallah to Sweden. The expectations of the families and the Swedish bureaucracy are getting in the way of the young couple's plans, such as when Mays is trying to apply for the decisive place at the university and discovers that her nationality doesn't exist in the system. Nonetheless, there is no finger-pointing in Mahasen Nasser-Eldin and Camilla Magid's warm and subtly romantic 'From Palestine with Love', which succeeds with something as simple and nonetheless courageous as believing in the fact that things will work out if one's heart is in the right place. And yes, the film is a true love story. It's just not the kind one has heard so much about before."Source: Dox Labhttp://www.cphdox.dk/doxlab/proj.lasso?n=11
