Abstract	Il film rappresenta la metafora politico-poetica sull'unità libano-palestinese: la volontà di resistere viene raccontata attraverso il bombardamento israeliano dell'area più densamente popolata di Beirut, avvenuto il 17 luglio 1981, che costò la vita a 300 civili e ferì più di mille persone *** A political poem dedicated to the 300 children, women and men killed, to the more than 1000 Palestinians and Lebanese wounded during the Israeli airraid on the overpopulated Fakhani quarter of Beirut on Friday the 17th of July of 1981. The Israeli airstrikes against Beirut on 17 July 1981 killed 350 people, including a pregnant woman whose baby could be rescued from her torn-up womb. Maurer shows the people's suffering and pain, their victimhood. She addresses the systemic causes of violence, referring back to the history of their country and formulating arguments for the necessity of a fight for liberation. In memoriam of MAJED ABU SHARAR martyr for a democratic Palestine (assassinated in October 1981) Filmed in the days following the massacre mainly on the Makbara -Shuhade (Martyr's Cemetary), in Fakhani, AUB Hospital
