"Woman: Shared Sensibilities, A Collective Voice for Equality"
TALES OF THE WOUNDED LAND
N/A
As war engulfs South Lebanon, a family flees their home while bombs reduce their town to ruins. Returning to devastation, they find only fragments of what once was, yet among the wreckage, the community clings to a fragile hope that peace and renewal will come.
ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಲೆಬನಾನ್ ಯುದ್ಧದ ಭೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ಬಾಂಬ್ ದಾಳಿಯಿಂದ ತಮ್ಮ ಊರು ನಾಶವಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದಂತೆ, ಒಂದು ಕುಟುಂಬ ಅಲ್ಲಿಂದ ತಪ್ಪಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಓಡಿಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಯುದ್ಧ ನಿಂತ ಮೇಲೆ ಅವರು ಹಿಂತಿರುಗಿ ನೋಡಿದಾಗ, ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಕೇವಲ ಮನೆಗಳ ಅವಶೇಷಗಳು ಮಾತ್ರ ಇರುತ್ತವೆ. ಆದರೂ, ಆ ಜನರಲ್ಲಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಶಾಂತಿ ನೆಲೆಸುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಬದುಕು ಚಿಗುರುತ್ತದೆ ಎಂಬ ಸಣ್ಣ ಭರವಸೆ ಇನ್ನೂ ಜೀವಂತವಾಗಿದೆ.
