47 years have passed since the attack of a Palestinian Fedayeen group on the Israeli Olympic team in 1972. Among them Afif Hamid, my childhood and school friend in Ein El Helwe camp in Lebanon, who was killed in Munich. This film is a personal research into layers of history in Palestinian dreams, struggle, despair and frustrations. It is a journey through time and places, while history stays a daughter of time.
