Archipel

by Giacomo Abbruzzese

One night, Abed, a young Palestinian, enters illegally West Jerusalem passing through the sewage pipe under the wall dividing the city. He works in a restaurant with Claudia, the main character of the anecdote, half a dream half a story, which he tells to entertain his collegues while they smoke the last cigarette of the evening. A day when the restaurant was closed, he decides to bring home a white case. By bus and on foot through hills and skies full of rain, Abed's journey will be a long one.
