The Taste of Apples is Red

Director’s statement:

My grandfather was never a man of religion. Grandpa had a regular speech he'd give me every time I came by, since I remember myself in my earliest memories, it went like this: Even though the village is small, it has more secrets than the mountains themselves could carry. We are cowards. We know everything, but refuse to If you ever try to unbalance the scale, to put the truth on one end and expose everything we’ve been hiding for all of these years- we will try with all our might to stop you, even by taking your life. More men will come doing the same thing, and because we are cowards, we will treat them the same. THE TASTE OF APPLES IS RED tells a story from our current times, the times we, the Arabs, are going through right now. It’s about a particular time, in which we do not want to expose our secrets because we are still cowards, or at least we believe so. Secrets that we are so afraid to deal with, and that are no different than any other secrets of any other people.
