Synopsis: | This is a simple love story, in case that love stories may be simple. This is the story of a young man (ILAN) who suffers from schizophrenia and of his fiancee (AICHA) who is ¨sane¨. He is a Jew from Sentier, and she is an Arab living in Paris. In the ¨petit theatre de guerre¨ which is Paris, together they live out their love story through her visits to Saint Anne Hospital where he is a patient. The hospital wall which separates them symbolizes as well the Israeli wall separating cultures, the incapacity of loving and being loved, and the frustration of not being able to live in freedom. Based in real events. | |||||
