About

The days of Alaa, Osaied and Sadeq – three friends from Jenin, Palestine – are filled with passionate hobbies, boredom and the thoughts of a not that far future. While trying to keep oneself busy with workouts, Counterstrike or a jalopy to cruise with, they fight melancholia in their very own ways. Alaa considers picking up a career as an artist abroad but is drawn back to family and friends in his hometown. Osaied is compelled to search his uncle who emigrated to Belgium. Sadeq intended never to leave Jenin, but fears the fact that his friends might not stay there forever.
