"I'm 16 and I've already been through 3 wars." Farah Baker, a young Palestinian, denounced in a tweet followed by 70 000 people, the situation of Gazans under the Israeli blockade. Summer 2014, shocked by her tweet and by the war on Gaza, I took my camera and encountered Palestinians in Bethlehem before, during and after the war on Gaza. Through an artist, a banker, a florist, a woman race driver, a woman mayor - We discover how they are affected by this conflict in their daily life and how they rebuild their society despite the oppression.
