Text in Arabic. A group of disparate individuals, two of whom are Palestinian adolescents who have lost their legs in Israeli bomb strikes, is preparing to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. They have nothing and everything in common. Hailing from Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt and America, the characters test the limits of their physical and emotional strengths to prove to themselves that they can transcend their strife-ridden histories and accomplish the unexpected. Nasrallahs work is a page-turning, nail-biting tale of adventure, as well as an ode to the resilience of the human spirit.
