Brothers Amer & Anas simply love pigeons, and spend days catching them on their roof in the old Palestinian city of Hebron. The birds fly freely, but the brothers are continuously watched by Israeli settler neighbors, and from two soldier posts overlooking their family home. The more thoughtful Marwaan lives on a street opposite a major Israeli settlement. To get home or to school he must daily face soldiers at the checkpoints. Marwaan resists human right violations in his neighborhood by filming the conflicts. Can these boys stay out of trouble? Filmed during five years in Hebron, this coming-of-age film depicts these boys’ challenges & hopes at the cusp of childhood.
