A filmic diary chronicling the largest Palestinian refugee camp in the Yarmouk area of Damascus, as its inhabitants are caught in the crossfire of the Syrian conflict. Under siege for nearly four years, Abdallah Al-Khatib succeeds in capturing his own community in all of its vibrancy and colour, before another conflict threatens to destroy it. Ultimately, the film is a love song to the resistance and integrity of a people that have already had to endure so much.
