This documentary explores the tentative future of Lifta, an Arab village abandoned in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war and never repopulated. Plans to demolish the site for new developments sparks opposition from Israeli-Palestinian coalitions, and becomes a topic of debate that mirrors the larger ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
