After a tempest, fishermen do not find only fish in their nets. That is what happens to Jafaar, a poor fisherman who lives poorly in Gaza. And what he hauls in is really upsetting : imagine that, a pig! An unclean animal judged impure not only by the Faith of Islam but also by the Jewish religion. Determined to get rid of the animal, Jafaar tries desperately to sell it, first to a United Nations official, then to a Jewish colony where Yelena raises pigs not for their meat but for security reasons. Of course, going unnoticed in the company of a "forbidden" animal, among his Palestinian brothers, past Israeli soldiers and under the scrutiny of Islamic fundamentalists is no bed of roses and a series of misadventures await Jafaar.... ----- Après une tempête, Jafaar, un pêcheur palestinien de Gaza, remonte par hasard dans ses filets un cochon tombé d’un cargo. Bien décidé a se débarrasser de cet animal impur, il décide toutefois d’essayer de le vendre afin d’améliorer son existence misérable. Le pauvre Jafaar se lance alors dans un commerce rocambolesque et bien peu recommandable… Dans cette tragi-comédie, l’ensemble du petit peuple de Gaza, coincé entre sa misère absolue au quotidien, les contraintes des militaires Israéliens et le diktat des barbus aux commandes, est représenté par ce pauvre pêcheur dont l’unique souci est de survivre au jour le jour et qui, pour cela, est prêt a tout. Jafaar, dans une permanente dérision de lui-même, même dans les moments tragiques, évolue dans cette histoire a l’humour mordant… et nous laissera espérer que si l’on peut s’entendre, malgré toutes les différences, à l’échelle individuelle, on peut s’entendre in fine, à l’échelle collective.
