An amazing short film!

Bonboné is an amazing short film. The film highlights a difficult and taboo problem of Palestinian society in a touching and humorous way. In a zone of political war, art is an important tool to denounce the injustice and the producer of this film knew how to make a perfect use of it with actors to whom we get attached quickly. Definitely recommend!

Short and extremely powerful

May Palestine be free soon! This is such a powerful movie, makes you feel how miserably they want children at all cost! These stories are real, real people go through such trouble to live a normal life!

A poignant short-film

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.

A deep and touching story of distance

It's unusual, but really fundamental, to see Palestinian stories represented on the screen. Bonboné does it with great direction and cinematography.

A passion project of Rakan Mayasi

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!
