Gaza after an Israeli offensive is the setting, with footage shot close enough to put faces on the casualty counts that usually stay abstract in news reports. The film follows three children through the fighting and into the ceasefire that follows, watching them return to streets of collapsed buildings and tents pitched where homes used to stand. Women appear rebuilding daily routines, cooking and caring for family, with electricity, food, and clean water no longer guaranteed. Parents describe burying children; others are shown caring for sons and daughters with injuries that will not heal quickly. There is no narrator laying out casualty statistics or political context, only the footage and the people in it, left to carry the argument on their own. The camera stays with ordinary civilian life interrupted rather than with soldiers or officials, which is where the film locates its case against the war it is documenting.
