Directed by Nicolas Wadimoff, the film is Switzerland’s entry for the 2027 Oscars and follows nine former Gaza residents now living as refugees across the Middle East and Europe, reflecting on displacement and whether they can return.

The film uses white lines on a black floor to represent Gaza as the participants recount their former lives, survival, loss and abandoned hopes. It premiered at Venice Days in 2025 and has since screened at festivals including Locarno, Hot Docs and Thessaloniki. It will open in New York and Los Angeles, expand to 10 other markets on 4 December, and Wadimoff is due to attend US screenings and question-and-answer sessions.
