LA STRADA DEI FIORI DI MIRAL(ENGLISH TITLE: MIRAL)

Book ID/图书代码： 10B35327

English Summary/英文概要： “Miral” tells the real-life story of Hind Husseini, who founded an orphanage in Jerusalem after Israel’s War of Independence. The film is being adapted for the screen by Julian Schnabel, director of “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,” and will also feature Hiam Abbass, an Arab-Israeli actress twice nominated for a European Film Award.

Jerusalem, 1948. On her way to work, Hind Husseini comes across 55orphaned children in the street. She takes them home to give them food and shelter. Within six months, 55 had grown to almost 2000, and the Dar Al-Tifel Institute was born.

At the age of 7, Miral was sent to the Institute by her father following her mother’s death. Brought up safely inside the Institute’s walls, she is naïve to the troubles that surround her. Then, at the age of 17, she is assigned to teach at a refugee camp where she is awakened to the reality of her people’s struggle. When she falls for political activist, Hani, she finds herself torn between the fight for the future of her people and Mama Hind’s belief that education is the road to peace.
