Synopsis:

Saverio Costanzo's film distills the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into a nightmarish microcosm when a midnight raid by Israeli soldiers on the house of a peaceful, well-educated Palestinian family turns the home into an occupied territory. Imprisoning the family on the ground floor and commandeering the upstairs as a lookout, the soldiers tell the confined that under no circumstances are they to go upstairs. The family's predicament, their internal conflicts and their edgy relationship with their captors, who become a bit more humanized as the story goes along, make 'Private' an emotionally and politically loaded allegory. The first feature film by Mr. Costanzo, an Italian documentarian, 'Private' is based on a true story. It was filmed documentary-style on digital video with hand-held cameras, in southern Italy, where the rocky terrain resembles that of the West Bank.
