Wooden Sword, is a 2019 Saudi movie, directed by Sousan Salamat and Behzad Alavi. with a runtime of 7 minutes.
Wooden Sword is a short Arabic dramatic film built on a simple but affecting contrast. Two young boys chance upon each other in an open green space and, with the ease that only children possess, become instant friends — unencumbered by the grievances or divisions of the adult world. Meanwhile, their fathers are locked in a serious conflict that looms over both families. The film draws quiet power from this juxtaposition, using the children's effortless bond to illuminate the self-imposed barriers adults construct. Tender, understated, and gently thought-provoking, it is a small film that asks a large question about what separates us and what might bring us together.
