door, a strong bond grows between them.

“It’s not a film I would have done naturally. My tendency is to think “it’s a political film” and avoid it in the first place. In my nature I look for the simplicity in people, not entangled assumptions that use the characters as instruments to pass a message. Political films are usually like that, the soldier stands for one image while the Arab woman stands for another.”
“If you succeed in bringing out the actual people, with their complexes and difficulties – beyond the political aspect – it is different. I found it very interesting opening up to it, learning it is possible to create both political and interesting films!”
