This artistic documentary uses animation and interviews to bring to light the challenges faced by Palestinian political prisoners after their release from Israeli detention in the 1970s and 1980s. The hardships of confinement were replaced by the difficulties coping with social, psychological and financial problems. On the inside, the prisoners created and functioned in a tight-knit community based on collaboration, cooperation and encouragement. However, on the outside, the newly released prisoners found themselves in an individualistic environment removed from the principles they fought for. This insightful film portrays the rarely seen human side of the detainees.
