Habibi, is a 2011 Palestinian movie, directed by Susan Youssef, and starring Maisa Abd Elhadi, Qais Nashif, Yussuf Abu-Warda. with a runtime of 78 minutes.
Habibi Rasak Kharban is a Palestinian romantic drama that breathes new life into the ancient Sufi parable of Majnun Layla, transplanting its timeless themes of forbidden love into the contemporary landscape of the West Bank and Gaza. Qays and Layla, two students forced to return home under difficult circumstances, defy their community's rigid expectations and the harsh realities of their divided world in pursuit of a love that refuses to be silenced. In a beautifully poetic act of devotion, Qays expresses his longing by spray-painting verses across the city walls. A modern retelling that is both intimate and politically resonant.
