Synopsis

The Oslo peace accord signed by Yitzhak Rabin and Yassir Arafat was welcome by many as a harbinger of a better future for the children and youth affected by the crisis in the middle-east. Still, little has changed for three pre-teen youths living in occupied Lebanon.

Yet these dreams are nurtured against a backdrop of history and politics that they can't wish away.
