Confrontation (1987)

Overview

Mahmoud leaves his town after offering his shroud to stop the bloodbath between his family and another family. The dispute began when Mahmoud met Salim, the chief of the Hawara, who has complete control over the town. Salim wanted to buy the share of his brother's widow, Atiyat, who refuses to sell. Mahmoud sympathizes with her against Salim, who is subjected to an attempted murder by some of the locals, so Mahmoud protects him with his pampering among the locals. Salim's son assaults Mahmoud's daughter, Fatima, and then kills her. He accuses Atiyat's brother of the crime, and Salim demands revenge and justice, and seeks to achieve it himself, but a surprise occurs that changes the course of events.
