A sci-fi documentary that explores the rise and fall of Lyd—a 5,000-year-old metropolis that was once a thriving Palestinian town before being conquered during the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. It tells the story of a city that once connected Palestine to the world—what it was, what it has become, and what it might have been. In the film, the city is personified as a young woman who narrates her history, emotions, and experiences. Actress Maisa Abd Elhadi lends her voice to the city, allowing the audience to hear from a place deeply scarred by displacement, violence, and war.
The film premiered at the Amman International Film Festival in August 2023, where it won the FIPRESCI Award for Best Arab Feature Documentary. It is directed by Rami Younis and Sarah Friedland, with Elias Suleiman as co-writer.
