Synopsis
This heartfelt
documentary from
award-winning filmmaker
Mai Masri explores the
enduring friendship that
evolves between two
Palestinian girls Mona,
who was born and raised
in the economically
marginalized Shatila
refugee camp in Beirut,
and Manar, who lives in
the Dheisha refugee camp
under Israeli control.
The two girls begin
their friendship as
penpals, sharing the
similarities and
differences of life in
the two refugee camps.
Mona and Manar are
finally able to meet
face-to-face at the
Lebanese-Israeli border
during Israel's
withdrawal from South
Lebanon. But when the
second intifada suddenly
erupts around them
shortly thereafter, both
girls must face
heart-breaking changes
in their lives.
