A little more than a year ago, Ariel Sharon's visit to al-Haram ash-Sharif in Jerusalem triggered the resurgence of violence in Israel and the occupied territories. In 26 minutes, this film resumes 48 hours in the streets of Ramallah with the Palestinian ambulance teams of the "Red Crescent." Solicited daily, these volunteers, trained in emergency conditions, attend the slightest tremors in the streets of the city which is President Arafat's official residence. Constantly exposed to gunfire, the ambulance teams stand prepared alongside dusty roads where the intifada and the Tsahal clash. This urban guerilla war is the daily backdrop of a strange give-and-take, where the provocation is never feigned, and the riposte always unpredictable. Carolina, a Danish emergency medic, enrolled in the Red Crescent a little more than a year ago out of personal convictions. She goes off "so as not to go mad," she refuses to be affected by the unhealthy atmosphere of this conflict. She doesn't understand why the ambulance units are the targets of Israeli settlers. All she knows is that these children, who return to the fray with their bandages still fresh, "want a future."
