More than 60 babies were killed during the last intifada in Israel and in the Palestinian Authority territories. “My daughter was born on the day the intifada set off, when she turned 6 months, an Israeli baby was shot in the head; a month later, a Palestinian baby was shot. This for me was quite intolerable.” (Director Adi Arbel) Palestinian and Israeli Mothers talk about the essence of motherhood that had taken a fatal blow, and the unbearable lightness of killing of children in the region. Intimate confessions turn into one conversation about motherhood, bereavement, new pregnancies.Arabic, Hebrew and heart-beats join together into one voice, full of hope of mothers - the hope from which new babies are born.
