And if I die, I want to turn into a boat

The film depicts a performing group questioning and reinventing Palestinians identity through theatre. The film portrays the theatrical group Khashabi Ensemble based in Haifa and its play Other Places, but goes beyond that portrait, interrogating the possibility for theatre to function as a liberator from what the members of the troupe acknowledged to be a mental occupation systematically enforced upon them by Israel.
