M (Mohammad Bakri), a film director living in Europe, returns to Palestine to work on a documentary based on eyewitness accounts of the 1948 expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland. He is soon drawn into a crisis involving a vendetta against his family in Nazareth. The film takes us on a journey through the hours M spends as he awaits dawn, a journey which drives him into the depths of his mythical town, Nazareth, and forces him to rediscover his inner world where nostalgia for the past is in conflict with a strong desire for a future free of that past. Will he achieve the much-desired mourning for all that has disappeared in his personal life and in the collective history of his people?

This film is the first in the "Voices of Palestine" Summer 2010 Film Series.
