Bonboné

A Beautiful piece and bold addition to a long line of Palestinian resilience and revolution through art and cinema..

Just a few films in the history of cinema can show a human, love and powerfull story. This is one of them! With a brilliant direction of Rakan Mayasi, and through and astute, unexpected and revealing story, this shortfilm let us Breathless! Must see!

Bonbone is by far one of the best short films I have watched. A beautifully shot tribute to Palestinian resistance and an important account of the situation in Palestine.

It's a funny story of a woman, who wants to get pregnant although her husband is in jail. So she finds a tricky way to make her wish come true.

Bonbone delivers a hysterically poignant message. The portrayal of the protagonists as two adults who simply wish to start a family together contrasts starkly with traditional narratives revolving around conception. Rather than being at the mercy of their bodies and their reproductive systems to make a baby like most couples, the two are instead held captive by the militarised system of injustice which incarcerates and separates.
