Filmed in 1980 in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon (including Sabra, Shatila, and Borj el-Barajneh), Syrian director Mohammad Malas interviewed children and teenagers, asking them about their dreams. In the Arabic language there is a phonetic compatibility between the word “Dream” and the word “Film”, and often the person asking and the one answering get them confused, so Malas use the word Film instead of Dream. 

The film captures an intimate, poignant and deeply human portrait of a displaced generation holding onto hope, imagination and identity amidst the harsh realities of exile. This documentary filmed in the Palestinian refugees in 1980 is the only one to choose the dream  instead of the reality, since the public was capable to know about their daily share of suffering and death that those uprooted from their homeland.
