    Great story and amazing music!

    I really got caught by the story which I found original, entertaining and informative - I did not know such thing was happening. Cherry on the top, the film is served by a catchy music, perfectly suiting the tone of the film. Worth to watch and to ear!

    A truly original take on the absurdities of living under oppression

    Bonbone delivers a hysterically poignant message. The portrayal of the protagonists as two adults who simply wish to start a family together contrasts starkly with traditional narratives revolving around conception. Rather than being at the mercy of their bodies and their reproductive systems to make a baby like most couples, the two are instead held captive by the militarised system of injustice which incarcerates and separates.

    An amazing short film!

    Bonboné is an amazing short film. The film highlights a difficult and taboo problem of Palestinian society in a touching and humorous way. In a zone of political war, art is an important tool to denounce the injustice and the producer of this film knew how to make a perfect use of it with actors to whom we get attached quickly. Definitely recommend!
