Le Conte des trois diamants (Tale of the Three Jewels) (Arabic عرس الجليل, transliteration Hikayat Al-Jawahir Thalath) is a 1995 is an Anglo-Belgian-Spanish-Palestinian film directed by Michel Khleifi. Screened in the Director's Fortnight section of the Cannes Film Festival in 1995, Tale of the Three Jewels is the first feature ever filmed in the Gaza Strip. Made in the days following the Hebron Massacre and before the arrival of the Palestinian Authority, the film tells the story of twelve-year-old Yusef, who escapes from the chaos of the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict by looking for birds in the tranquil countryside.
Synopsis[edit]
Youssef, 12 years old, lives in a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, in the gloomy context of the First Intifada and the Israeli occupation: His father is imprisoned, his brother, a fedayeen, wanted by the Israeli army.
During a walk, Youssef meets Aida, a young gypsy, an excellent storyteller, with whom he falls in love. She tells him that she will marry him if he finds the three lost diamonds from a necklace once acquired in South America by his grandmother.
From then on, Youssef tries to get out of the Gaza Strip by all means on search for the diamonds.
