Logline
Khalil, named after his brother martyred in the first Palestinian Intifada, struggles to define his own identity in a family that sees him as his late brother’s embodiment. Through dance and music, he expresses his inner conflict and seeks to free himself from a name tied to memory, loss and expectation.
