In 1988, Palestinian teenager Noor is shot by an Israeli soldier. Even before it becomes clear whether he will survive, his mother addresses us directly. Winner of the Audience Award at the Leiden International Film Festival. 

West Bank, 1988. When a Palestinian teenager becomes involved in a protest against Israeli soldiers, his mother recounts the family story that led them to this fateful moment. The mother addresses us directly: to understand Noor, we must go back to the beginning – to the story of his grandfather. What follows is a poignant family history spanning seventy years of displacement, resistance and determined hope. A penetrating portrait of a people who, despite everything, refuse to lose their connection and humanity.
