United by a shared oath to save lives, three American doctors—Palestinian, Jewish, and Zoroastrian—work in a besieged hospital in Gaza and return to the United States to fight for the patients and colleagues they left behind.

In May 2021, eleven days of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza claimed the lives of Palestinian children. Directors Mohammed Sawwaf and Michael Winterbottom create a documentary portrait of the young lives lost, drawing on footage and interviews with grieving families. Parents and relatives remember the children's personalities, interests, hopes, and ambitions, presenting them as individuals rather than statistics. With music by Max Richter, the film reflects on the human cost of conflict and the lasting grief of families whose children will never have the chance to grow up.

When the Israeli army invades the Gaza Strip in 2023, Rania is eight months pregnant. She gives birth to triplets just as her hometown in northern Gaza is bombed. One girl dies at birth, while the other two babies, Jowan and her brother Hamoud, are so weak that they have to be placed in an incubator. When the hospital is evacuated, the twins are moved to southern Gaza, where Rania’s sister Nisreen takes over their care. A travel ban prevents the babies from returning to their mother.
