# Don't Cry (2022)

2022 · Palestine, Germany

Original title: لا تبكي

## Synopsis

Don’t Cry is a short, animated film by the Palestinian filmmaker Hisham Zreiq. The film is about a Palestinian girl, a Palestinian man and an Israeli woman who meet at a celestial lake, the meeting triggers a conflict between the man and the woman caused by a previous encounter, and the girl tries to mediate.
In an interview with Zreiq in the Pan-Arabic culture online magazine of the London based The New Arab news agency said that the film uses symbolism, talking about the cycle of violence that always starts with an Israeli aggression, followed by a Palestinian reaction and results with more Palestinian deaths. Many symbols are to be seen in the film set, like a broken hourglass, a broken alarm clock and a slow-moving snail as a symbol for the death of peace and the time stand still after the collapse of Oslo accords. Other symbols like a bullet and a stone, unbalanced scale symbolizing the unbalanced conflict.
