A fourteen-year-old Palestinian who was shot and killed decades ago in the Six Day War, Safa is caught in a limbo which she calls the 'In-Between'. She is unable to fully pass on without knowing what happened to her younger sister, Nur, who is still alive somewhere. Thirty-three years after her death, the possibility of finding her is suddenly within reach — but she needs Dinah to help her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlternating between past and present, and between Safa and Dinah, \u003cem\u003eEver Land\u003c\/em\u003e is a gripping and powerful story that sheds light on the ongoing occupation of Palestine.
