Family is central to Palestinian identity. The dynamics between parent and child take center stage in these gripping and emotional short films, that focus on a broad range of topics including pregnancy and abortion, eating disorder/body image, homosexuality, and independence.

When Nadine hears about her best friend's fear of an unwanted pregnancy, she takes the lead of the rescue. Together they embark on a frustrating, confidential and sometimes funny journey of getting pregnancy tested, while their conservative reality turns the simple act into an actual threat. Through Nour's conflict, and within the reflection of her dad, Nadine finds herself searching for her own truth, independence and freedom.
