Lifta is the only remaining Arab village depopulated in Israel's War of Independence that hasn't been completely destroyed or re-populated by Jews. Jerusalem's municipality plans to build over 250 luxury villas there that would erase its Arab heritage. A survivor of the Holocaust travels to Lifta with a Palestinian who was expelled from this village in 1947. After a contenious start we witness the power of Lifta's ruins to open hearts and minds to understand the suffering of another.
