A story about nostalgia, loneliness, and the absence of love. Haneen is an old woman surviving within the memories of her home, struggling between slow monotony and her passion to rediscover life.
Haneen, a woman in her mid-60s, lives alone in a Palestinian city, estranged from her husband and son. The municipal authorities arrive on her street and hang uniform plastic numbers on all the houses. With her usual determination, Haneen removes her number. She befriends Salem, a new boy in the neighbourhood who steals oranges from her garden, and their relationship deepens when the army arrests his father. The authorities return with a new number and affix it to Haneen’s house. She lives her past and present in solitude and nostalgia, waiting for unanswered letters to be returned.
