An intimate look at the daily lives of three widows who live in the heart of Hebron, in a building which straddles two worlds: the front controlled by Israel, the back by the Palestinian Authority. In a world where Israeli soldiers, curfews and street fighting are the only certainties, they reflect on the pros and cons of life without a husband, the difficulties of raising children, and the unfair treatment of widows by a conservative Muslim community. Occasionally the ennui of their enforced idleness is broken by a Jewish religious procession secured at gunpoint. But this only amplifies their implacable hatred of the people who hold them prisoner in their own homes or turn them into refugees in their own country. Moving, powerful and uncompromising.
