Despite Israeli incursions into Jenin, Mahmoud and his young actors are staging a play they hope to perform abroad. Since October 7, Israeli assaults on the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank have intensified.

Led by Mahmoud Abu Aita, a group of aspiring young actors is rehearsing for a performance abroad. Despite the violence he has endured, Mahmoud remains hopeful. He believes that this journey, from a life shadowed by conflict to the stage beyond Jenin, can help his students heal and broaden their horizons.
