Through a series of young survivors’ recollections, Samouni Road conveys a deep, multifaceted portrait of a family before, during and after tragic event affected a farming community outside of Gaza City.

In the rural outskirts of Gaza City, a small community of farmers in the Samouni extended family, is about to celebrate a wedding.

It’s going to be the first celebration since the last war. Amal, Fuad, their brothers and their cousins have lost their parents, their houses and their olive trees.

The neighbourhood where they live is being rebuilt. As they replant trees and plough fields, they face their most difficult task; piecing together their own memory.
