In the destroyed city of Quneitra rests the grave of a resistance fighter for Palestine. His son, director Mohammad Malas, endeavors to restore the fighter’s history, tracing echoes of his mother’s memory. Told through the dreams, fears and hopes of its citizens, Malas chronicles his hometown of Quneitra in the Golan Heights, from the start of the Great Revolt of 1936 through the year of the city’s destruction. Through the film, the director seeks to exorcise feelings of shame and humiliation that long accompanied the image of his father and also his hometown, occupied by Israeli forces in 1967.
