About the Film

Filmed in a West Bank neighborhood designed by her architect grandfather in 1956 and now marooned behind an army checkpoint. Instead of making any overtly political point, the film quietly follows aimless lives, lads playing football, a bored child setting fire to a heap of rubbish.
