Synopsis:
 

The international award-winning documentary tells the moving story of Arna Mer (1929-1995) who led in the last years of her life a small theater group of Palestinian children in the West Bank refugee camp of Jenin. Her son Juliano, who directed the group, used his camera all those years to film the rehearsals and performances of the plays. The theater was destroyed during the Israeli military excursions in the West Bank in 2002, and the theater closed down. Back in Jenin, Juliano discovers, little by little, the tragic story of the theater children who were so dear to him.
