A surreal portrait of the Nakba as never-ending, lived and relived by one displaced Palestinian family.
In Stockholm, Zein al-Abedin shivers, far from the warmth of simmering revolt years ago in Shatila. In Paris, his son Nidal toils in solitude, ignoring his father's phone calls and dousing his desire for Bassam back in Lebanon. Salwa, refusing to leave Beirut for Sweden, digs backward in time through Facebook and discovers an unlikely channel to the one place in the world she can't go: Ayn Ara, the Abu Sukkar family's ancestral home in Palestine.
Invoking the long wake of the 1948 Nakba and its displacement of 750,000 Palestinians from their homes, Sara Abou Ghazal webs the worldwide, timewide scatter of the Abu Sukkar family. At every turn, Ayn Ara disrupts their otherwise "normal" days in new terrains through memory, pain, and strange magic -- culminating with a journey into both the past and a parallel present of Zionist settler violence.
Be it through a ghostly return to the brutal event of the Nakba, or grandmother Nijmeh's psychic drift from land to no-land and back, Dreams of Ayn Ara portrays time as a false phenomenon for people ripped from their rightful place--and points to fissures in the fragile reality that denies Palestine to Palestinians.
