After a Palestinian teen gets swept up in a West Bank protest in the first Intifada, his mother recounts the family story of hope, courage and relentless struggle. An epic story spanning three generations of a Palestinian family; from the surge of violence during the 1948 Nakba, the new status quo in the West Bank and the outbreak of the First Intifada in 1987, to the near present of 2022. Cherien Dabis weaves complex character studies, shrouding a series of catastrophic conflicts within the bounds of family. Love and hope emerge as the best defence against inhumanity and dehumanisation.
