When the world hides behind the clouds, the children of Gaza gather around their small tent, creating a vast world with their minds and dreams. Here begins the journey of "Near the Tent, Under the Cloud," as dreams creep from the tent toward the cities of the homeland.
Each child in the story tells a tale, weaving a new reality full of hope. We find them wandering the streets of Nablus, tasting kunafeh in Jaffa, and drinking pomegranate juice from Bisan. Their simple adventures light up the places and bring warmth despite the harshness of reality, as if their homeland embraces them with silent nighttime joy.
