Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The film documents challenges with memory transfer. In Palestine, the memory of a country is sometimes passed on from mother to son. Although its existence is controversial, passing the idea of a nation to the next generation is crucial for Palestinians. When a Palestinian refugee talks about a lost village, he/she gives specific details despite the sparse remaining traces of its existence.
