Beyond the Wall
Mustafa and his wife live 200 meters apart in two different villages, separated by the nine-metre-high concrete wall between Israel and the West Bank. Visits are only possible until the checkpoints close every night, so it has become a ritual for the couple and their three children to greet each other goodnight with light signals from window to window. One day, the son is injured in a car accident and is hospitalised on the Israeli side. Mustafa immediately rushes to the next checkpoint, but is turned away due to expired papers. He decides to take the illegal route across the border. In a cramped smuggler’s car that Mustafa shares with a German documentary filmmaker, her Palestinian protagonist and a young migrant worker, the 200-meter distance turns into a 200-kilometer odyssey.
