Title:Before Heaven
As the lives of so many children unfold on the walls of a house, the new owner decides to paint them all and hence ending the lives of these children. But, there is more than what meets the eye. This short film forms a very special connection with the children of Palestine and comes across as a heartfelt ode to the many Palestinians who were literally thrown out of their own homes. The injustice went way further when tons and tons of children were forced to give up on their dreams and were forced to stare into a void. A void of darkness, lost hopes, and helplessness.
