The film starts with Melia Zreiq, an old woman from Eilaboun, saying: "I hope God will bring peace to this land, and let the peoples live together - a good life. I hope there will be peace". Historian Ilan Pappe talks about Plan Dalet, a plan that David Ben-Gurion and the Haganah leaders in Palestine worked out during autumn 1947 to spring 1948. Pappe discusses the details of the plan, and how was it carried out. On October 30, 1948, the Israeli army entered Eilaboun at approximately 5 AM. They then forced the villagers together in the main square of the village. They chose seventeen young men. Five of them were taken as human shield, and the rest of the twelve were killed, each in a different location. This all happened after the expulsion of the rest of the village to Lebanon, where they became refugees after a five days forced march to Lebanon. After a United Nations peace keeper observed and reported Israel was forced to allow the people back.

Nadine Bari takes us down a road in Guinea as she searches for her husband. As she does, she tells us of the long battle she faced to get the Guinean authorities to tell her what had happened to her husband after he disappeared. Hopeful and desperate, her story is similar to that of thousands of women who are still trying to discover what became of their husbands, fathers, brothers or sons during Sékou Touré's dictatorship.

Avec Darfour : du sable et des larmes, le cinéaste Paul Freedman, lauréat du Peabody Award, nous plonge dans la réalité de la situation au Darfour. Il s'est joint à un contingent des forces pour la paix de l'Union Africaine au Darfour, où l'une des pages les plus tragiques et perturbantes de l'histoire de l'humanité est en train de s'écrire. Alors que les hommes et les femmes de cette mission affrontent des conditions très dures et une violence sans limites, deux millions et demi de personnes déplacées n'ont pas d'autre choix que de trouver refuge dans des camps sordides. A ce jour, on estime que 400 000 civils ont perdu la vie.

Paths of lives are crossed in one village in the West Bank. Along the broken water pipelines, villagers walk on their courses towards an indefinite future. Israel that controls the water, supplies only a small amount of water, and when the water streams are not certain nothing can evolve. The control over the water pressure not only dominates every aspect of life but also dominates the spirit. Bil-in, without spring water, is one of the first villages of the West Bank where a modern water infrastructure was set up. Many villagers took it as a sign of progress, others as a source of bitterness. The pipe-water was used to influence the people so they would co-operate with Israel’s intelligence. The rip tore down the village. Returning to the ancient technique of collecting rainwater-using pits could be the villagers’ way to express independence but the relations between people will doubtfully be healed.

They all feel the need to reconstruct history and recover their parents, taken from them twice over, once by their disappearance and another by the secret. Choosing between deeply set silences, lies and taboos within and outside the families, over forty years.
