 Director: Abdulatif Abdulhamid, 1990, 104 minutes. Arabic with English Subtitles.
Set in a small Syrian village, this film chronicles the effects of Westernization and war on family life. Abu Kamel is the head of a peasant family and the absolute ruler of his little kingdom. His only fear is the jackals that haunt the village at night, keeping him awake with their howling. Whistling can easily keep them away. The problem is that Abu Kamel's wife is the only one in the family who can produce that high-pitched sound.
