Vers un pays inconnu
By Mahdi Fleifel
Chatila and Reda are two Palestinian cousins living as refugees in Athens.

But this quest pushes them past their limits, leaving part of themselves behind in the hope of a better future.

His meeting with Guy Cadière, a Belgian surgeon, breathes new life into his commitment. Together, they operate side by side, driven by the strength of the women they care for.
