A curation of stories of Palestinians and others caught in extraordinarily surreal situations and still persisting in their personal quests to achieve ordinary goals: completing a sticker collection to win a prize; buying an anniversary present; reaching a holy site to pray; having a baby; sending a loved one home from abroad to be buried.
