The story
What it's about
Set against the backdrop of Israel's genocide on Gaza in October 2023, an Egyptian doctor named Salma volunteers with a relief convoy and crosses paths with a Palestinian man desperately searching for his nephew under the rubble. As they fight alongside each other for survival, a deep human bond forms — turning love and hope into acts of resistance. Inspired by real events and testimonies.
