The Night

Syria | 1992 | 115 min | Documentary In a ruined Quneitra, lays the grave of a soldier fallen for Palestine. His son tries to piece together the story of this man through his mother’s memories. He also plunges deeper into the violent and agitated political past of his country, Syria from the 1930’s until 1967. The Night is a moving tribute to this fallen father and soldier, to whom Mohamed Malas gives back his dignity. It is a powerful and poetic film in which the fate of people is taken away by the flow of history. Yet, this isn’t a historical film which dissects facts and reality. A film by Mohamed Malas
