Dans la périphérie rurale de la ville de Gaza, la famille Samouni s’apprête à célébrer un mariage. C’est la première fête depuis la dernière guerre.
Amal, Fouad, leurs frères et leurs cousins ont perdu leurs parents, leurs maisons et leurs oliviers. Le quartier où ils habitent est en reconstruction.
