Bara’a, Ala’ and Ibraheem, three 17 years old Palestinians, are finishing their schooling and plan to leave to continue their studies in Europe. Like the train that they cannot take and that passes by their school every 25 minutes, their future comes up against a multitude of prohibitions and impossible dreams, with the only horizon being precariousness, the absence of opportunities, the impression of being condemned for life to pacing the confined space of Battir, their small native territory, and the car trips in the hills to smoke joints.
