“Gaza Mon Amour offers a heartwarming yet unconventional depiction of love blossoming against all odds in a place suffering under a siege. The film subverts preconceptions of where, how, and at what age people are supposed to fall in love, while seamlessly blending romance, politics, and humor. It’s a gentle reminder that love is a powerful and, once it has been planted, inevitable force. ” – Dalia Soliman
