The time that remains

Nazareth has surrendered to the Israeli Army. Palestinian fighters hand over their arms. An intellectual faces the army officer and gives a small speech.

"Either a life to bring happiness to our friends´ hearts or death to torment our emenies´hearts". And he quickly, dramatically and ridiculously shoots himself in front of everyone.

Some people in the room laughed at this scene. It is very special the sense of humour born under oppression.

The time that remains, by Elia Suleiman.
