★Avg. rating

A Palestinian filmmaker based in Scotland comes across a collection of archival films of Palestinian wildflowers and decides to rework this rarely seen footage. This tender film essay asks how image-making, entangled with the complex relationships between people and land, can bear witness to history, and how it can become an instrument of violence.
