Summary |
The first-ever Palestinian feature film from the Gaza Strip, CURFEW is the story of a Palestinian family living in a refugee camp in the year 1993, just before the peace negotiations started. At the start of the film, the Israeli army announces a curfew which will last until further notice. Abu Raji's family has just received a letter from one son studying in Germany when they are interrupted by the news. Streets empty, doors shut, and stores close.
