Ahmad’s passion for the sport of freedom drives him to break through the borders of his besieged city of Gaza. On the way out, his home becomes inaccessible.
Now that his return is unattainable, Ahmad reflects on his undetermined journey out. Despite the blockade that troubles Gaza, Ahmad aspires to become an international Parkour champion. But the reality of his surroundings pulls him an inch away each day. When his friend survives a detrimental injury, Ahmad’s far-fetched dream of building a Parkour Academy in Gaza becomes a necessity. Ahmad endures eight visa rejections and an impossible exit through his city’s border. Ultimately, Ahmad flees to Sweden. With that, he departs instability to security but also community to individualism. There is a sharp contrast between the atmosphere he currently resides in versus the one he left. Ahmad’s surroundings are empty, but his devices and memories are full of people. Will Ahmad continue living in Gaza through the screen? Or will he find a way to physically connect with his family, his friends, and achieve the goals he has for Gaza?
