Three Promises
A mother in Palestine films her family and her surroundings during the 2000s at the time of the Second Intifada. Her promise to God: If he lets them survive, she will take her children and leave. She breaks her promise twice and only leaves after the third conflict. Her son uses her footage to tell the story of his family's fate and their return to their homeland.
