How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
An improvised film about our worlds at the brink, on the edge, in front of a crisis. To stand on the side of life, by seeing the resistance to genocide in Palestine as a turning point to overcome.
