Hassan, a seventeen-year-old Palestinian, is trapped by need amid Gaza’s starvation war. His dangerous attempt to fetch a sack of flour ends with four days of detention, followed by forced displacement away from his family, leaving him alone on a fifteen-month journey from north to south Gaza.

He lost his younger brother before his displacement and his father during the expulsion. The obsessive desire to return home never left him, driven by the hope of finding what remained of his family: his mother and sister.

"Hassan", directed by Mohammed Alshareef, is a short film that is part of the From Ground Zero + project, initiated by Rashid Masharawi, which presents a series of varied portraits of life in Gaza.
