Instead of writing, he takes care of his two children and the household, in between suffering from bouts of depression. The days pass agonisingly slowly as he empties the washing machine and struggles with suicidal thoughts \u2013 until one day, his new neighbour Jalal knocks on the door.<\/p>\n<p>Maha Haj chooses the dark comedy genre to make the tragedy of everyday Palestinian life accessible to a wider audience through comedic and stylized means \u2013 similar to the films of Elia Suleimann, for whom Haj worked as a set designer. The script is informed by a myriad of influences: the many anecdotal outbursts refer to the films of the Coen Brothers as well as the Arabic narrative form of the hakawati (storytellers). Several little scenes that seem to be marginal to the main plot fulfil an important metaphorical function rather than drive the plot forward.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Awards for \u203aMediterranean Fever\u2039<\/strong><br \/>\nBestes Drehbuch in der Sektion <em>Un certain regard<\/em> \u2013 Cannes 2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":25984,"template":"","movie_year":[635],"movie_genre":[629],"movie_cat":[686,699],"festival":[687],"class_list":["post-24643","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-635","movie_genre-spielfilm-2","movie_cat-international-feature-film-competition-en-2023","movie_cat-audience-award-2023-en","festival-2023-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mediterranean Fever - Internationales Frauen Film Fest<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/mediterranean-fever\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mediterranean Fever - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Palestinian writer Waleed hasn&#8217;t published a book in years.
