About the film

Depicting characters leaning on crutches and wrapped in bandages, Addam's murals become a self-fulfilling prophecy as chronic illness forces him to recalibrate and create political and participatory art in Palestine-Israel.

Director Omer Shamir's poetic debut shows the sickness of the land at this critical juncture, through personal stories of injuries and trauma caused by a century of colonization.
