Playing Life (Gaza 2016)

Yousef was born in Gaza. At 16 years old he has lived the normal life of boys and girls his age: sometimes school, sometimes bombardments, sometimes surprises like when his school was destroyed and his best friend died. And sometimes there is love, there is his mom, there are his friends who feel like hanging out together, there is a day for you. How, asks Yousef, can we play this life or stop life from playing us?!
