Zuhaira Sabbagh, a young Arab woman with an Israeli passport, leads a youth group in Nazareth during her free time. “Armed” with nothing more than cameras, the group searches for ruins of Arab villages that were destroyed by the Israeli army in 1948.

These investigations provide a way for the youth group to peacefully resist Israeli attempts to erase all traces of a time when the land was home to Palestinians. The group’s efforts are met with strong opposition from the Israeli inhabitants. During her investigations, Zuhaira Sabbagh meets Swiss doctor Hans Bernath and his wife who, as delegates of the Red Cross, have witnessed the most important phases of this Middle East conflict.
