""I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains." Anne Frank"

A little girl wanders through a seemingly peaceful land, turning it into her playground. Almost everything she encounters becomes a source of play and wonder, as if beauty were everywhere. But behind these images lies a different reality. Driven by authentic testimonies of Palestinian children confronted with war, the film challenges the way we see: what remains of beauty when everything seems destroyed? Between fiction and testimony, this short film explores the strength and beauty of innocence in the face of the world's atrocity.
