| Summary: | "Since the beginning of time and the occurrence of human endeavor, walls have been built to protect from unwanted invasions. But Belfast (Northern Ireland), Nicosia (Cyprus) and Bethlehem (Palestine) are three cities divided even today by walls of separation. Their Citizens are either denied access to certain areas of their homeland, or subject to severe controls when crossing from one side to the other. This film, beyond political considerations, looks at what living with walls means for the life of some residents of these three cities and observes with subtlety how it affects their daily existence. We are left with the question, what do these walls really achieve compared to what they are supposed to deliver to all citizens concerned?"--Container. |
