events occur between intervals of shooting:
israeli soldiers take over a palestinian village surrounding the dark night
with
sounds of machine guns, bombs and screaming; quick glimpses of palestinian day
time life are held hostage: the women dancing and singing at a wedding, the
ritual
of a goat slaughter, the idyllic olive groves, the making of bread in old style
ovens.
the destruction is quick but long-lasting: shell-shocked children, blown-up
cars,
houses swathed in bullet holes, uprooted trees. a man who lost his house points
his finger in blame; each has a story to tell but the sounds of war are loudest.
