Mona's wedding day is going to be the saddest day of her life. She lives with her family in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and is about to marry across the border to Syria. But as soon as Mona has entered Syria, she will never be allowed to set foot on Israeli territory again.
THE SYRIAN BRIDE is a movie about physical and emotional borders, and about what it takes to cross them. In 2004, Eran Riklis has won numerous prizes for this moving political family drama: among others the audience awards at Locarno, Montreal and Gent.
