Logline
The film follows Khalil, who was given the name of his brother, martyred in the first Palestinian Intifada. In a family that sees him as the embodiment of the late Khalil, he struggles to define his own identity. Through dance and music, he expresses his inner conflict and seeks to free himself from a name tied to memory, loss and expectation.
