The Tower
Mats Grorud
Programme:
+Cal
In Beirut, young Palestinian Wardi lives with her family in the refugee camp where she was born. When her great-grandfather Sidi tells her how he was expelled from Palestine in 1948, Wardi delves into her family's memories and the history of her people. Through these stories, she discovers the weight of loss and the power of hope. The Tower is a moving stop-motion animation about what it means to grow up without a homeland, but with roots grounded in memory, resistance, and the desire for freedom.
