- Synopsis
- My Love Awaits Me by the Sea is an experimental poetic
  documentary taking the director, Mais Darwazah, on a first time
  journey to her homeland in search of Hasan Hourani, a
  Palestinian artist, her Arab “Little Prince” who’s work sought a
  better world as it set the imagination free.
  On a cold winter day in 2007, while Mais was going through
  Hasan’s work, a young man who tragically drowned in the sea of
  Jaffa in 2003, she stumbled upon something so special that urged
  her to make this journey and share his uniqueness with the world.
  Through his children’s book of illustrations and poetry Hasan Is
  Everywhere, the artist created a space for love, tranquility,
  dreaming and safety; the staple and basic emotions, which the
  people of this region were often deprived of. Hasan made her
  believe in her dreams, to look for a lover still awaiting her by the
  sea, so she decided to look for him, discover his world.
