Full Synopsis
A restless video diary unfolds through sleepless nights, screens, and an endless stream of images from Palestine and elsewhere. As activists in Amsterdam follow the news, the film reflects on digital exhaustion, political engagement, and the difficulty of remaining present in a world saturated with distant suffering.
