The Syrian Bride Page #2

Synopsis: In Majdal Shams, the largest Druze village in Golan Heights on the Israeli-Syrian border, the Druze bride Mona is engaged to get married with Tallel, a television comedian that works in the Revolution Studios in Damascus, Syria. They have never met each other because of the occupation of the area by Israel since 1967; when Mona moves to Syria, she will lose her undefined nationality and will never be allowed to return home. Mona's father Hammed is a political activist pro-Syria that is on probation by the Israeli government. His older son Hatten married a Russian woman eight years ago and was banished from Majdal Shams by the religious leaders and his father. His brother Marwan is a wolf trader that lives in Italy. His sister Amal has two teenager daughters and has the intention to join the university, but her marriage with Amin is in crisis. When the family gathers for Mona's wedding, an insane bureaucracy jeopardizes the ceremony.

what you did for our village

nor your years in jail.

But this is different!

If you prefer him...

and go against our religion,

you will lose our support

and we will cast you out, too.

Long time since you've been here?

Yes, almost 8 years.

Seriously? 8 years?

You'll behave yourself

at Grandfather's house, promise?

Hattem?

Let's go over the Arabic

you taught me.

How do you say

"Congratulations"?

Hallo?

Congrations...

How you are?

You can speak English.

My sisters understand English.

Why? Don't I speak well?

I won't speak at all then.

Try to get some sleep.

You worry too much.

You'll improve with time.

Relax, your parents will love him.

UN Headquarters, Golan Heights

Huge crowds this morning

at the central square of Damascus

to pay their respect to the late President

and welcome his son, Basher el-Assad

That's the way it is.

Bless you.

May God please you.

Greetings!

Congratulations!

Our beloved president Bashar el-Assad

will deliver his speech

from the Parliament:

The Israeli withdrawal

in the 80s and 90s

and the retreat from Lebanon

this past May

proved the importance

of our solidarity...

He looks even tougher

than his father.

People of Majdal!

Come to the village square!

Join the demonstration

for our new President, Basher el-Assad

I'll be back.

Don't worry!

Go ahead, I'll join you soon.

Don't be late, Hammed.

Dad!

Are you going to the demonstration?

I won't be late.

Please don't go.

Your parole terms

forbid you to do that.

Please don't go.

For Mona's sake.

Why don't you let this day

go on peacefully?

We don't want

to visit you in jail again.

I have to go.

What will people think?

That Hammed is a coward?

You haven't slept well

since you came out of jail.

You're haunted by nightmares.

Don't worry about me, Amal.

They can't hurt me.

Join us, the Syrians

are close to our hearts!

Join us, the Syrians

have sacrificed their blood!

Unity, national unity.

The Golan belongs to Syria.

With spirit, with blood,

we'll redeem Bashar!

With spirit, with blood,

we'll redeem Bashar!

Hammed... Hammed!

Come here! Come!

Aren't you on parole?

What are you doing here?

Go home.

- I'm not leaving.

- Don't provoke me. You know

what happens to those who

provoke me!

Remember or

should I remind you, 5002?

You still remember my number.

Even I forgot it. I'm not afraid of you.

I was never afraid of you.

A country of criminals! For 33 years

you are occupying us without shame.

Hammed, go home.

Your daughter is getting married.

With spirit, with blood,

we'll redeem the Golan!

I'll miss you.

I'll be lonely there.

I'm afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Tallel will love you

and you'll love him.
