Synopsis
Avoiding the fascinated look at the Middle East like the miserable discourse that feeds Western bad conscience, "Children of the Stones" shows the daily lives of young men and women in the city of Jericho in Palestine (West Bank). To be twenty years old in Palestine today is to come after. It means occupying this special position as the heirs of a time, a culture, a country that we have not really known. How to live in a country of fallen legends? And what identity can we count on when everyday life starts on the shifting sands of a flickering memory? How to build its history without disappearing behind the myth? Oscillating between observations of everyday life and evocations of their dream, the mosaic film paints a portrait of an active and reckless generation.
