The Kite (French: Le Cerf-volant, Levantine Arabic: طيّارة من ورق ṭiyyāra min waraʔ) is a 2003 Lebanese film by the director Randa Chahal Sabag.
[3] The Kite is set in a village called Deir Mimas over the border of the pre-occupied territories in southern Lebanon (occupied by Israel).
Similarly, Samy was not much interested in marrying his cousin either; however, he agreed to the marriage because he thought it would help Lamia escape her village.
Lamia hugs her family and starts her long walk towards the Israeli border in her majestic wedding gown and a lone bouquet.
Meanwhile, the movie reveals that an Israeli soldier, Youssef (Maher Bsaibes), stationed at the border is in love with Lamia.
It appears like a dream or surreal scene where Lamia magically crosses the fence of the border and finally gets to be with Youssef.
[3] When Sabag won the Silver Lion, the Beirut-based Daily Star called the occasion "a triumph for Lebanese film".
[5] Cineuropa said that despite the subject of the story being tragic, Sabag tried to deal with it using irony and managed to "triumph life, love and imagination" at the end.
