The Muslim cemetery Maaman Allah, is located in West Jerusalem. Part of the cemetery was turned into a parking lot and now the Museum of Tolerance is being constructed upon this sensitive site. Muhammad al-Dajani, an 82-year-old Palestinian, visits the cemetery and tells us about members of his family who have been buried there since the beginning of the 20th century. This film is a part of the "Jerusalem Moments 2009" Project: seven documentary short films by seven young Palestinian and Israeli directors, reflecting the complexity of life in Jerusalem, in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
