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.
