For the first time in decades, an exile arrives in Palestine and enters his family home. His mission is to recollect and liquidate remnants of the past. His expedition across the present connects him with places, people, and Palestinian plains. All appears impossible in the city, on the streets, throughout the land, beyond the beaten path, and at the lowest point on earth. Unfruitful efforts increase his frustration as his family abroad pressures him to report back on his findings. The exile’s mission transforms from liquidation to reincarnation, leading to a new state of permanence.
