Synopsis

"My land" gives voice to old Palestinian refugees who fled in 1948 without ever returning to their land and living in refugee camps in Lebanon for over 60 years. This word is understood by 20 years old young Israelis that are building their country, feeling deeply attached to their land, but without ever really knowing why. Between these two memories, there is a reality and a remote dialogue that puts into perspective the conflict at an angle above all human.
