Israel 1980 | 51 minutes | Hebrew, Arabic | Hebrew, English subtitles

A canonical work produced forty years ago, that chronicles a residence in Jerusalem’s German Colony which belonged to Palestinian doctor Mahmoud Dajani until it was expropriated in 1948 and became home to Jewish immigrants from Algiers. Later purchased and remodeled by an Israeli professor, it is a metaphor for the narrative of Jerusalem.
