Filmed from the first days of the war in Gaza and months into the ongoing conflict, four ordinary Gazans document their lives as they endure bombing raids, multiple evacuations, family separations and reunions, deaths, and even the birth of a new life amidst the chaos.

Self-shot over the course of a year, Khalid, Aya, Adam, and Aseel along with their families capture their fight for survival through direct, personal experiences. Interwoven with this raw footage are their personal archives from before the war and observational scenes filmed by local filmmakers. Together, they tell a uniquely human story about the war in Gaza, challenging assumptions about the conflict and those caught in it. The film showcases stories of resilience, loss, and hope amid a deep and desperate humanitarian crisis.
