Nawal moved to Berlin from the West Bank to establish a life away from occupation, leaving behind her mother, an Israeli activist living in the West Bank. A meditation on daughterhood, motherhood and complex inheritance, the film explores the legacies of resistance passed down between Neta and Nawal at a moment of immense turmoil.
