The Way back home

Ghada Terawi (from Shashat):

The film is a journey in the lives of three Palestinians - Ghada, the filmmaker, Munira, the actress and Husni, the painter. Ghada, who raises the question of "home", takes a journey into her own past, looking for answers.
Through this journey we are introduced to her scattered family, their history as fidae's (PLO fighters).
Through Ghada's quest for answers we encounter Munira, who is searching for a better life in Palestine after a life in the Diaspora for nearly 35 years. Her search for a better financial, professional and personal life exposes us to her Diasporic life, moving from Kuwait to Tunisia to Amman and finally to Palestine.
Husni's journey is more internal. It is a search for an identity which eluded him in exile. He returned to Palestine, as others did after the Oslo Peace Accords. During the last 11 years his search for identity has intensified, but he has not been able to find what he is searching for....so he retreats more and more inside himself.
