J'étais roi à Jérusalem

Description

Following Wasif Jawhariyyeh, an Arab musician born in Jerusalem at the beginning of the 20th century, is to indulge in the pleasure of getting lost in a city. This is quite an art when it comes to Jerusalem, the most labyrinthine of cities, suffocated under the stones of history and piles of books. So much has been said about it that, in the end, we know nothing about it. Because a city is neither monuments nor holy places, but the men and women who live there. Walking behind Wasif, a small musician with the makings of a great character, is to remember this and piece together torn memories to the improvised tune of an oud. Unique music and invincible joy.
