MINOR DETAIL begins during the summer of 1949, one year after the war
that the Palestinians mourn as the Nakba - the catastrophe that led to
the displacement and expulsion of more than 700,000 people - and the
Israelis celebrate as the War of Independence. Israeli soldiers capture
and rape a young Palestinian woman, and kill and bury her in the sand.
Many years later, a woman in Ramallah becomes fascinated to the point of
obsession with this 'minor detail' of history.
A haunting
meditation on war, violence and memory, MINOR DETAIL cuts to the heart
of the Palestinian experience of dispossession, life under occupation,
and the persistent difficulty of piecing together a narrative in the
face of ongoing erasure and disempowerment.
