Avant il n'y avait rien
Yvann Yagchi
Switzerland / 2024 / 01:10:43

Yvann, a Swiss filmmaker of Palestinian origin travels to the Israeli settlements to come to terms with the break-up with his childhood friend, now a Jewish Settler, with whom he grew up in Switzerland. During his trip, he recalls moments spent with his friend and family in the settlement and tries to understand why their friendship didn't hold up in the face of the political situation. Throughout this exploration, Yvann reveals his own tragic family history in Palestine. An emotional exploration of friendship and identity, through the brutality of the occupation and a cry for the survival of Palestinian culture.
