A Palestinian grandmother in Amman refuses to let her grandson sell the family's iron house key — the one from a village that no longer exists. A dark comedy about ownership, memory, and what we are allowed to let go of.

About
Yaffa Films is an independent production company making short films and features in comedy, drama, and dark comedy - with a distinct commitment to Palestinian identity, memory, diaspora, and literary tradition.
Palestinian stories have shaped world literature for a century - Kanafani's exiles, Darwish's elegies, the humour that survives occupation. Cinema has barely begun to tell them.
We produce work that is cinematically ambitious, where the comedy is real, the grief is earned, and no single film is asked to represent an entire people.
