Tale Of The Three Jewels

Tale of the Three Jewels is a moving parable and the first feature film ever to be filmed in the Gaza Strip. Made in the days following the Hebron Massacre - and before the arrival of the Palestinian Authority - it tells the story of Yussef, a twelve-year-old boy who lives in an imaginary world of his own and often escapes from the surrounding violence to the beautiful Gaza countryside.

One day Yussef meets Aida, a ravishing gypsy girl with whom he falls in love. When he declares his intention of marrying her when they grow up, she tells him that he must first find three jewels missing from her grandmother´s necklace, which was brought from South America by her grandfather. This sets Yussef off on a beautiful and mystical adventure.
