Director Statement

The film talks about a true story that happened to my grandmother
In the Six-Day War, the people refused to let her and her family shelter
Just because she is a Tunisian.
The film describes the relationship between mother and daughter, the gap between generations
And the mother's desire to bring her children into the shelter and her daughter's refusal to plead with them
