Occupation, trauma and a lullaby long since lost are the leitmotif of this fiction. Nour, a young Palestinian woman wandering the streets of Stockholm, realizes she has lost something irreplaceable. As she retraces her steps, she hears her sister’s voice recounting their life in Gaza with their brother Shady and grandmother. The narrative shifts to the horrors of war in Gaza, leading to the tragic news that Shady has been killed.
