SYNOPSIS
In 1982, the war had spread to the Palestinian-Lebanese border, and the Israeli colonial forces entered the Rashidiya camp in southern Lebanon. There, a number of young children were waiting for them. They were cubs of the Palestinian revolution, carrying RPG weapons and fighting the Zionist enemy.
In this film, the director follows these children nearly 40 years after that anniversary.
