Drawing on a treasure trove of family home videos filmed in the Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon over 20 years, Fleifel's documentary is an exploration of rootlessness and its effects. What emerges is a touching and humorous portrait of a family contending with permanent exile. The film is as relevant today as it was in 2012.
