Synopsis
Three MiniDV tapes of life in Gaza from 2001 were recently rediscovered. What started as a search for a former prison mate from 1989, led to an unexpected road trip from the north to the south of Gaza with Hasan, a local guide whose fate remains unknown.
A cinematic reflection on memory, loss and the passage of time, capturing a Gaza of the past and lives that may never be found again.
