"Where's the ghost town?", asked the little boy to the theme park attendant. "It's there, right there. But it has been bombed… Do you want to see it?" It is with these words that the film begins - an impressionist journey through a devastated Gaza after the war. The ghost town? Gaza is the ghost town…

"Wo ist die Geisterstadt?", fragt das Kind den Angestellten des Vergnügungsparks. "Sie ist hier, gleich hier. Aber sie wurde bombardiert. Möchtest du sie sehen?" Mit diesen Worten beginnt der Film. Eine impressionistische Ballade im zerstörten Gaza, am Tag nach dem Krieg. Die Geisterstadt, das ist Gaza.
