Synopsis
A sweeping, intimate, multi-generational drama chronicling the life of a Palestinian family across seven decades (1948 to the present day). It begins in 1988, when a mother, Hanan, recounts the family's epic history to her teenage son, Noor, after he is injured in a protest. The film powerfully captures the enduring legacy of trauma, displacement, and the unyielding fight for dignity and justice, making it Jordan's official Academy Awards entry
