The Well is a love story between two teens who have never spoken. When Omar, the night of the wedding, lifts the veils that cover his bride's face with a sword, she is terrified; but he is gentle, kind, and considerate. Thus begins the love story of Omar and Nijmeh. It will carry them through the terrifying days of the nakbe; the tragedy of a people displaced from all they know, adjustment to exile, to life in a refugee camp, and ultimately to military occupation. Sewn into the tapestry of their life will be the cat-and-mouse game of occupier and occupied and imprisonment; tragic death and heartache; there is compromise of principles; there is immovable faith, and there is also inexplicable joy. It is a story based on the reality of what it meant to be Palestinian during those turbulent years of 1947-1987.
