Interviews with Palestinians living in Lebanese refugee camps, some of it shot in Sabra and Shatila before the massacre. Compiled from interviews with Palestinian refugees from the camps in Sabra, Shatila, Bourj el-Barajneh, Ain al-Hilweh and Rashidieh in Lebanon. While at the camps, Mohamad Malas asks people about their nightly dreams, which always refer to Palestine: a woman recounts her dream of winning the war; a Feda'i resistance fighter dreams of bombings and martyrdom; an old man describes a dream of encountering Gulf emirs who ignore him. In 1982, the Sabra and Shatila massacres occurred, in which several of the people he interviewed were killed, after which the project was discontinued. In 1986, Malas resumed the project and edited many hours of footage into this 45-minute documentary, which was released in 1987.
