The Sleep of Elephants

Overview

Stuck in the rubble of his home destroyed in a bombardment, nine year old Ahmet begins to spin a globe he finds among his toys. As the globe spins, the joyful and carefree lives of children from different parts of the world appear. As each spin shows the contrast with his own despair, the final scene brings him face to face with the painful reality of Gaza under fire. Reaching out to the globe as if to extinguish the flames, Ahmet draws his last breath among the ruins of his family’s wreckage.
