An archived photograph is the inspiration for this short film that re-enacts a night of culture in urban pre-Nakba Palestine. Alfred Roch, member of the Palestinian National League, is a politician with a bohemian panache. In 1942, at the height of WWII, he throws what will turn out to be the last masquerade in Palestine.
