Rana´s Wedding

Sinópsis:

Rana se levanta una mañana y tiene que afrontar un ultimátum de su padre. Debe o bien elegir un marido de entre un lista previamente seleccionada de hombres aptos, o debe acompañar a su padre al extranjero. Rana's Wedding (La Boda de Rana) es un drama romántico sobre una chica Palestina que quiere casarse con un hombre de su libre elección. Con sólo diez horas para encontrar a su novio en Jerusalén ocupado, Rana sale al amanecer a hurtadillas de la casa de su padre para encontrar a su amor prohibido, Khalil. Enfrentándose a barreras y ocupación que se han convertido en una realidad diaria, Rana supera sus miedos y dudas, y decide no dejar que nadie controle su vida.

Synopsis:

Shooting on location in East Jerusalem, Ramallah and at checkpoints in-between, Palestinian director Hany Abu-Assad (FORD TRANSIT) sees the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through the eyes of a young woman who, with only ten hours to marry, must negotiate her way around roadblocks, soldiers, stone-throwers, overworked officials ... and into the heart of an elusive lover. This timely feature that explores love among the ruins of an occupied territory was presented with the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival's 2003 Nestor Almendros Prize for courage in filmmaking. According to Abu-Assad, "When the abnormalities of barriers and occupation become an everyday reality, normal things like love and marriage turn into fiction. This is life in Palestine right now. I wanted to challenge it through cinema." Winner of the Best Actress award at the 2002 Marrakesh International Film Festival (for Clara Khoury's affecting performance), RANA'S WEDDING premiered during the 2002 International Critic's Week at Cannes and has been a festival favorite in Palm Springs, Montreal, Rio de Janeiro, Cairo and London.
