Minor Detail

Set during the summer of 1949, the story follows a young Palestinian woman who is captured and raped by Israeli soldiers, then killed and buried in the sand. Years later, a woman in Ramallah becomes obsessed with this traumatic event, which she views as a 'minor detail' in the broader context of the Palestinian experience. The narrative explores themes of war, violence, and memory, highlighting the ongoing challenges of dispossession and life under occupation while addressing the struggle to construct a coherent narrative amid continuous erasure.
