SUMMARY

Maha, 12, is part of the last generation of Palestinian refugees from the Balata camp. After her blind grandfather has a medical episode, Maha imagines a crazy project: to make him believe that the Israeli separation wall has fallen and that a return to his native land is possible. With the help of her friends from the camp, the young girl imagines an adventurous trip for him.
