FABIO
WUYTACK
DIRECTOR
TWO HANDS / 5min
Palestine has only four cardiac surgeons and Mohammed Tamim is one of them. In 2003 he came to Belgium to specialize in pediatric surgery. But the second Intifada has made Mohammed a war surgeon and every day he is fighting his war. But despite it all, Mohammed has a dream that keeps him alive. Two Hands is a touching document about an intense personal grief. Director Fabio Wuytack creates a poetic visual bridge that goes beyond the here and now.
