The Kite (Le cerf-volant)

A young 15 year old girl, Lamia, lives in a southern Lebanese village on the border with Israel. She is given in marriage to her cousin on the other side of the border. As Lamia crosses the barbed wire she also passes from childhood into adulthood, as brutal as these countries and the events that are to follow. Venice Film Festival 2003: Grand Special Jury Prize.
