The Tower uses the mode of animation to enter deep into palestinian reality. And it works. You get to know several animated characters who during the film seem to turn into persons. The modern history of Palestine is the background and the dynamo of the film. But the heartbeat is the daily life experiences of 4 generations of palestinians, with refugee camps as their base camp, as a provisional yet lasting home - living and loving, fighting and hoping. Hoping one day to be able to use the key they always kept, to get back into the house they once lost, and which someone occupied. So much pain, so much love, so much struggle for dignity and humanity. The animation gets right through to you, without any actors as mediators. Go see it, and contemplate it!
