More About Film

In the displacement tents of Rafah, Palestinian women try to preserve the well-being of their bodies despite the absence of the most necessities, those essential items no woman can do without, anywhere and at any time.Through living their daily realities, we discover the alternatives and innovations these women employ to protect their bodily dignity, especially during pregnancy, childbirth, and the period that follows, where bringing a child into life becomes a grueling adventure in a setting defined by the absence of life. Very Small Dreams takes us on a hidden, silent journey in which women claim the simplest of very small dreams.
