Lemon Tree檸檬樹柏林影展2008觀眾票選獎2008台北電影節開幕片中英文字幕

館藏資訊

摘自 Yahoo電影網站
【檸檬樹】被喻為2008年以色列最好看的電影，故事題材緊扣生長在以、巴邊境的一片檸檬樹，看似相安無事的日子，卻因為以色列國防部長的搬入，陷入混亂對戰中。看似不起眼的檸檬樹成為國防部長的眼中釘，而檸檬樹的主人，也就是巴勒斯坦寡婦薩瑪，說什麼都不肯服從命令，善罷干休，於是找上年輕律師，決心抗戰到底。
當平凡百姓的家務事對上國防大事，後續發展如何，可想而知，然而在這場由【檸檬樹】引發的戰爭中，卻扯出更多不為人知的內幕。一場勝利無望的抗訴，過程中有情感、有拉鋸，趕流行的姊弟戀也在片中插一角，一個是離婚單身漢，一個是寂寞寡婦，兩人攜手對抗強權的同時，也擦出愛情火花。隨著訴訟雪球愈滾愈大，新聞也愈炒愈兇，一向高高在上的國防部長，也變成媒體消遣的對象。而新聞焦點下，究竟是誰在仗勢欺人？誰又想趁機大出鋒頭？而賭上所有的寡婦，能否從過程中得到解放，苦盡甘來？
這是一個關於「守護」的故事，混合幽默、荒謬、悲劇、喜劇，藉由薩瑪為她的樹和人生奮戰的過程，看到人們如何保護屬於自己的東西。這也是一個關於「寂寞」的故事，女人如何互相扶持、勇敢走出自我。真人實事感動改編，柔性處理以巴民族問題，是2008年以色列最精彩的電影。

摘要註

Salma Zidane lives in a tiny Palestinian village on the West Bank. She is 45 years old and a widow. Her children have left home, and she is alone. When the Israeli minister of defense builds a house on the other side of the green line, Selma's lemon trees come to the attention of his bodyguards. Her trees are a security risk. They can hide terrorists and impede the bodyguards in their work. In any case, these Palestinian lemon trees simply get in the way of the powerful Minister's superior security needs. The lemon trees were planted by Salma's family many generations ago--they are synonymous with Salma's family history. Salma gets herself a lawyer. But Ziad Daud is up against a battery of clever military lawyers, all of whom are covered by the top brass. It's an unfair battle, that isn't made any easier when the 45-year-old widow falls in love with her lawyer, a divorcee ten years her junior--a scandal as far as her Palestinian neighbors are concerned. On the other side of the grove, Salma's struggle to keep her trees has not gone unnoticed. The defence minister's wife, who has become more and more lonely and unhappy as her husband's political career has blossomed, feels increasingly drawn to Salma as the unfair battle between her husband and their Palestinian neighbors drags on. An invisible bond connects these two very different women who find themselves on the brink of a new phase in their lives.
