He remembers how in 2000, at the start of the Second Intifada (escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict), the town rapidly transformed into a site of deadly conflict between two nations, ideologies, and religions.

In this sense, the artistic form serves as a way to delve deep within oneself and holds a therapeutic function. The film by Flam reached the semi-final stage of the Student Oscars (2021) and was also honored with a special mention by the jury at the Bordeaux Short Film Festival (2022).
