At the gates of the Negev desert, a group of young Palestinians fights against the Israeli military occupation. "Youth of Sumud” - the youth of steadfast perseverance - tries to return to their people the land that was taken from their families, restructuring the ancient cave village of Sarura.

They face aggression with nonviolent action, defending themselves from rifles with their video cameras; they oppose desolation and death with hope and life.

Ten years after their first documentary on the nonviolent struggle in the West Bank, the directors return to the village of At-Tuwani and, using archival material more than 15 years old, tell how the children have grown up.
