Lipstikka



Jonathan Sagall : 2011

Lara is Palestinian. She left Ramallah thirteen years ago to begin a new life in London where she married Michael and had a child. She, her husband and her seven-year-old son James lead a pleasant, albeit somewhat dispassionate life in one of the city's better districts. But then, one day, Inam turns up at Lara's front door. She is a childhood friend from Ramallah. Inam surges into the apartment, asks Lara about her husband and showers attention on her little boy. It's not long before Lara realises that everything she has created for herself is endangered by Inam's brusque intrusion. The two women share a secret, a life-changing event which occured when they were teenagers in Jerusalem. Something that began as a youthful prank but took an unexpected turn. What really happened depends on the way each individual perceives those events. Your memory can play tricks on you – especially when it concerns your deepest fears.
