A short fiction film written and directed by Aida Kaadan. Samir, a 43-year-old shoe shop owner in Ramallah, has never seen the sea, although it lies less than an hour’s drive away. Determined to finally fulfil his simple dream, he slips past the Israeli border controls with a group of construction workers.
Instead of the beach, he ends up on yet another building site. Told as a dark comedy, Strawberry shows how the occupation turns even the most ordinary wish into a struggle, and asks what it means to feel human when your movement is controlled.
