A Story About Redemption
Love, Theft and Other Entanglements is a universal story of an anti-hero and his journey towards redemption.
The lead character (Mousa) is neither the Palestinian national ideal typically found in many Palestinian films nor the pure victim of the occupation who is otherwise a perfect manifestation of good. He is not the typical antithesis of that either. He is not a national traitor or an Israeli collaborator. In fact, Mousa wants nothing to do with politics even though politics inadvertently come his way. He is an imperfect human being with many dislikeable traits. He is a car thief running away from his troubled past; a love affair tragically ruined by his actions. He steals to bribe a way out of the country and away from his wrecked past. But his actions only get him into deeper trouble.
Director’s Statement: Drama, Thriller, Fairytale
" Love, Theft and Other Entanglements is a drama, a thriller and a fairytale. While most of the extraordinary situations and coincidences faced by the lead character are inspired from direct experiences of mine, of people I know or from other real stories that affected me, I wanted to present them as merely a chain of challenges on the character's journey towards change. I did not want to focus on the events in of themselves or to present them in a realistic fashion against Palestine's political and economic backdrop. I wanted to focus on the character's universal story and not draw any more attention than necessary to the place and time period in which it unfolds.”
