We Cannot Go There Now, My Dear

Palestinian refugees have been living in Syria since they were forced to flee Palestine in 1948. As the Syrian crisis intensifies, they alongside the Syrians have been affected by the war. Their story, however, is more complex. By fleeing Syria and seeking refuge in Lebanon, they are becoming a special category: the twice-displaced. This film tells part of their story—a story in which memories have been awakened between one exodus and the next; loss permeates all things and invades the soul; and lives are continuously being re-improvised, awaiting a return to the homeland.
