Synopsis

'Villa Touma' tells the story of three Christian sisters from Ramallah who are unable to cope with their new situation after losing their land and status in the 1967 war with Israel. So, they decide to hide indoors and live in an endless time warp. The Touma's live within the four faded walls, each in its own bubble, with its secrets and dreams, romances without a happy ending, and its masks full of correctness and good manners. Then her granddaughter Badia (Maria Zreik) enters their lives challenging them to abandon their rigid routine and turns their world upside down definitely driving the silence of their lives. Suha Arraf directs Nisreen Faour, Ula Tabari and Cherien Dabis as the sisters.

  • 8.0 CinemaníaSergio F. Pinilla A tragedy with a Shakespearian touch and scenography, with imperceptible and persistent black humor, courtesy from the director and scriptwriter Suha Harraf ('Lemon Tree'). Read
  • 8.0 El PaísJordi Costa What Arraf begins telling as a clash of different universes with some comedy touches (...) ends becoming an oppressive tale with a curt, shocking and precise ending. Read
  • 8.0 FotogramasManuel Yáñez Murillo A film that cries for the scars of the palestinian-israeli conflict (...), the movie depicts bluntly a rigid social scheme dominated by prejudice and hatred. Read
