Over 30 years of fieldwork, photographer Randa Shaath built an extensive archive of Palestine: decades of photographs of the people and places she calls home. In her living room, we open the archive together, guided by her rare gift for remembering a story behind each photo. One more return to Albelad (the homeland), she glides through the photos, and with every return, a story surfaces. She holds onto a narrative in which hope was possible, and a free Palestine never felt far away.

Going through a journey in the streets of the empty city, except from him and his beloved, loaded with unsteady and contradictory feelings towards her, after their relationship had come to an end recently. He runs in the streets of the empty city, trying to catch her; she on her tricycle and he, after her, on foot. Out of breath, he reaches the milk shop “Alban Wady El-Neel” at the end of his journey, unable to define what feelings he carries for her, any longer..
