At the border of Beirut, within the Shatila refugee camp, we encounter the Alhaddad family, Palestinians who, displaced from their homeland, have resided there since 2011. During the explosion in the port of Beirut in 2020, their youngest daughter, Houda, is killed. With perseverance, gentleness and a rare visual power, Giovanni C. Lorusso recounts the everyday life of the Shatila camp and a grieving family. The story of a painful end and the necessary search for a new beginning.
