She went to visit her father for the second time
She had to go across Qalandia checkpoint
And see the soldiers there, the same soldiers who took her father into prison
And her father is detained in a very bad detention centre
it's on the Naqab, it's a desert, in the south
the climate is very bad there
she had to wait four hours to see her father
for only 30 minutes
she couldn't touch her father
she wanted to touch him, she couldn't touch him
she said I have to put my finger from the little holes to scrub a little bit of his cheek
they refused my... I asked for permisison and they refused
under security reasons
that means I will not see him until he is home
and I wish he would be home here very soon
How was Papa?
How did you find him? Handsome?
We were just trying to manage to have a life
and suddenly everything went out for nothing
and we don't know when it's going to be together again
I thought we'll... when we're going to have a family and kids,
we're going to raise them and be with them all the time
and give them a good future
but the last thing I thought that we're going to...
give them a prison as an inheritance
to inherit family visits in a prison
this is the last thing I thought of
believe me it's very hard
to know that it's after generation, after generation, after generation
it's a circle that you can't go out of it
