Film Synopsis
In the aftermath of a fierce sea storm, Jafaar, a Palestinian fisherman, finds a live pig caught up in his fishing net. The unfortunate creature must have ended up there after falling overboard from a cargo ship. Having made up his mind to rid himself of this unclean beast, Jafaar sets about trying to sell it, hoping to raise enough money to make his miserable existence more tolerable. What ensues is a series of fantastic escapades which could only ever happen to a pig and a fisherman...© James Travers
