Summer of 1949, a year after the war that Palestinians mourn as the Nakba — the catastrophe that led to the displacement of 700,000 Palestinians — and Israelis celebrate as the War of Independence.

Israeli soldiers capture a young Palestinian woman in the Negev desert, rape her, and then execute her, burying her body in the sand. Years later, a woman becomes fixated on this seemingly insignificant detail and obsessively seeks the truth of this event.

A haunting account of violence and terror, loss and the life that flows between material and immaterial borders.
