Despite imposed restrictions on movement, a passionate long-distance runner strives to complete a marathon in one of the smallest territories in the world.
Deya is a young Palestinian man passionate about marathon running. His obsession takes him through occupied territory, running long miles along imposed roads, with or against the wind. But in his territory, it is impossible to find the 26 regulatory miles with no obstacles. So Deya is often forced to run in circles. There is an extraordinary story behind his tenacity to run the marathon— one of a young man who is confined to his small territory, running through the town and its outskirts which have become his racetrack. A marathon in truncated loops, due to a lack of space. Despite imposed restrictions on movement, every day he runs on the streets of Nablus and Nur Shams, the refugee camp where he lives. He strives to reach his ultimate goal—to run a famous international marathon and achieve his dream of one day representing his country Palestine at the Olympic Games.
