On the Bride’s Side
Directed by Gabriele Del Grande, Antonio Augugliaro, Khaled Soliman Al Nassiry
Produced by Gina Films
A documentary about solidarity and human connection that follows a creative, audacious act of resistance against immigration law, balancing humor and danger across a three-thousand-kilometer journey.
A Palestinian poet and an Italian journalist meet five Palestinians and Syrians in Milan who entered Europe via the Italian island of Lampedusa after fleeing the war in Syria. They decide to help them complete their journey to Sweden, and hopefully avoid getting themselves arrested as traffickers, by faking a wedding. With a Palestinian friend dressed up as the bride and a dozen or so Italian and Syrian friends as wedding guests, they cross halfway over Europe on a four-day journey of three thousand kilometres.
