The Seven Villages

Directing: Farah Abou Kharroub

Synopsis

A video call between Farah who lives in Prague and her grandmother who lives in Beirut, reveals the struggles and complications that both generations have been enduring because of the displacement that happened in 1948 from their village that lies between Northern Palestine and Southern Lebanon. Farah’s grandparents are from Al-Khalsa village which is one of the seven villages in which its inhabitants were granted the Lebanese citizenship even though they were registered as Palestinians refugees for 46 years. The grandmother discusses the Lebanese revolution with Farah in which Farah reveals an obstacle she faced in Czech Republic because of her Lebanese passport that was granted to her in 1994. Both generations touch on topics that are filled with emotions, memories, and hope.
