Description

Minor Detail begins during the summer of 1949, one year after the war that the Palestinians mourn as the Nakba – the catastrophe that led to the displacement and expulsion of more than 700,000 people – and the Israelis celebrate as the War of Independence.

Israeli soldiers capture and rape a young Palestinian woman, and kill and bury her in the sand.

Many years later, a woman in Ramallah becomes fascinated to the point of obsession with this ‘minor detail’ of history.

A haunting meditation on war, violence and memory, Minor Detail cuts to the heart of the Palestinian experience of dispossession, life under occupation, and the persistent difficulty of piecing together a narrative in the face of ongoing erasure and disempowerment.
