SUMMARY

The Shebab (Arabic for ‘youth’) have been a posse since they were teens in Yamouk refugee camp, Syria. Now on the eve of adulthood, they have a genuine thirst for life and for absolute, while being confronted by complexities.

Between the need for freedom and for belonging to the group, between longing for revolt and the prospect of a well-ordered life, choices are hard to make; even more so if you’re a Palestinian refugee in Yarmouk.
