One morning, during a ceasefire in Gaza, a young photographer wanders far from his hotel and into the narrow alleys of the city. Roaming aimlessly, he stumbles across an old man, surrounded by stacks of books. As the photographer raises his camera, the bookseller asks him to listen to his story first. 'For isn't there a story behind every gaze? The story of a life. Sometimes of an entire nation.' The story that unfolds encompasses exile and imprisonment, resistance and political disillusionment, the joy of watching your children grow up and the tragedies that tear your loved ones from you.

Quand un jeune photographe français pointe son objectif vers ce vieillard entouré de livres, il ignore qu'il s'apprête à traverser le miroir. Commence alors l'odyssée palestinienne d'un homme qui a choisi les mots comme refuge, résistance et patrie. De l'exode à la prison, des engagements à la désillusion politique, du théâtre aux amours, des enfants qu'on voit grandir et vivre, aux drames qui vous arrachent ceux que vous aimez, sa voix nous guide à travers les labyrinthes de l'Histoire et de l'intime.
