In the aftermath of a terrorist attack near her home, 17-year-old Tal has a crazy idea: write a letter of friendship and hope, seal it in a bottle and ask her brother Eytan to take it with him to Gaza and put it in the sea. The schoolgirl hopes that the bottle will be found by a teenager her own age with whom she can correspond. Unexpectedly, it is a young man who answers her, and he does not seem very friendly...
Translated into some fifteen languages and awarded several prizes, A Bottle in the Gaza Sea was also adopted for the cinema by Thierry Binisti (French director, born in 1964) in 2012.
SUMMARY
FORCING A DIALOGUE
Tal, a young Israeli teenager, lives with her parents and brother in Jerusalem, where war has become part of her daily life. For three years and the beginning of the second Intifada (nationalist revolt of the Palestinians), there has been one attack after another. One of them, which occurred in a café near her home, shocked the high school student who is not used to so much violence. She loves her city, her daily life, and her friends and can no longer stand so much instability and conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
The first Intifada took place between 1987 and 1993 in the West Bank and Gaza, Palestinian territories occupied by Israel. Exasperated by the daily humiliations they suffered and indignant at the minimisation of the death of four Palestinians in an accident caused by an Israeli truck, the Palestinians, mainly young people, began a campaign of civil disobedience accompanied by acts of violence (stone-throwing, Molotov cocktail attacks, etc.). This campaign ended with the 1993 Oslo Accords, which established a progressive autonomy plan for the occupied territories. However, these agreements were a failure.
