Story

Deeply moving and quietly powerful – a haunting film about loss amid humanitarian catastrophe – and about preserving identity in dark times.

A chalkboard, sketchily drawn, the outline of Gaza and nothing but words: Nine Palestinian refugees talk about life in the Gaza Strip before the war and before fleeing from hell. They talk about their deep connection to their homeland Gaza, their families and friends.
Their former lives lie in ruins. By sharing their experiences in conversation, the refugees find themselves and their way back to life. They are no longer ghosts.

QUI VIT ENCORE is a film like no other: intimate, human and universal. It tells the story of Gaza through those who built its future: entrepreneurs, a musician, a doctor and an influencer. Through their eyes, we discover a reality that is rarely shown on screen, far removed from the images in the news, characterised by resilience, creativity and hope.

This deeply humanistic film, which celebrated its international premiere in the renowned Giornate degli Autori section in Venice, has evoked a great emotional response and won the Cinema & Arts 2025 award. The film was also honoured at the Mostra Internacional del Cinema de São Paulo for its narrative power and social relevance.
