A short stop-motion animation based on a story by Walid Daqqa, the Palestinian writer and political prisoner who spent 38 years in Israeli prisons and died in custody in 2024. Waiting to be transferred between prisons, Walid hears a strange request in a mysterious whisper.
The film was made by the Al Masna animation studio together with girls from the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees and interns from Birzeit University, who built the puppets from wire and papier-mâché and recreated the prison court with help from eyewitnesses.
