Yousef is the firstborn of Hasan and Dalia, whose early life experiences and familial bonds lead him on a path from innocence to becoming a key figure in the Palestinian resistance.

Ismael, the second child of Hasan and Dalia, is kidnapped as a baby and raised as David, an Israeli soldier, exemplifying complex themes of identity and reconciliation.

Yehya is the patriarch of the family, deeply connected to his ancestral land and traditions, whose life exemplifies the continuity and disruption of Palestinian heritage over generations.

Hasan is Yehya’s oldest son, a passionate advocate for education and intercultural relationships, whose life arch spans idyllic pre-conflict times through the challenges brought by the Nakba.

Dalia, initially a lively young Bedouin girl, transforms through her experiences of loss and trauma, becoming a reserved and protective mother in the face of ongoing conflict.
