THE TIME THAT REMAINS
THE TIME THAT REMAINS is a semi biographic film divided in four historic episodes, about a family, spanning from 1948 until recent times. The film is inspired of Elia suleiman’s father’s diary of his personal accounts, starting from when he was a resistant fighter in 1948 and his mother’s letters written to family members who were forced to leave the country since then. The Film attempt to portray the daily life of those Palestinians who remained in their land and were labelled “Israeli-Arabs” living as a minority in their own homeland.
