An intimate portrait of a former Palestinian fighter, Hamdan, who spent fifteen years in prison, this documentary listens as he revisits the mission that changed his life and the years that followed. His voice-over unfolds over images of empty roads, homes and faces, punctuated by testimonies that widen the frame from one man to a people’s condition.
The film traces how punishment reverberates into an everyday ‘outside’ that still feels carceral. Grounded in the present, haunted by past decisions, it favours proximity over spectacle, turning testimony into a study of accountability, complicity, and endurance, a stark depiction of how the borders of a prison can be architectural, political, and psychological.
