synopsis

This film provides a raw look at the summer 2014 bombing of Gaza, accompanied by the never-ending search for and treatment of the wounded, and the clearing away of blood and human remains. The young Mohamed Jabaly joins an ambulance crew and, under the constant threat of sudden death, brings a chilling eyewitness account from a place dominated by the chaos of war, despair, and fear.
