A Plate of Sardines (Arabic: طبق السردين) is a Syrian documentary film by the director Omar Amiralay. This short documentary tells Amiralay's own story about how he first heard of Israel. In his own words, "The first time I heard of Israel, it was in Beirut, talking about a sardine dish. I was 6 years old, Israel was 2." The film records Amiralay's filmmaker friend Mohamed Malas own reflections on his own native city of Quneitra before and after the Israeli-occupation and later liberation of the city. All the while strolling around the ruins of what's left of Quneitra.[1]
