The village of Massafer Yatta is located in the West Bank. Since his childhood, Palestinian activist Basel Adra has been fighting against the displacement of its residents caused by the Israeli occupation. The land that the families have lived on for many generations is to become a training ground for the IDF, the Israeli army. The army demolishes the houses and expels the people, which Adra documents. When he meets Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham, an unexpected friendship develops that leads to a Palestinian-Israeli team collaborating on the film. Shot from 2019 to 2023, the film is an act of creative resistance on the path to more justice.
