Call it a political film, even though a tunnel could be anywhere. In desperate Gaza -not a country but a strip- people dig tunnels because the borders are too well-guarded. Not even a sheep may cross the border. So a shepherd who has run out of ideas takes his sheep along with him into the tunnel. Desperate, absurd and yet comic. Sombre and monochrome. Animation as if modelled with soil. Screened before 111 Girls.
