GENRE: ALTERNATIVE HISTORY What if Israel had lost the War of Independence? May 1948. The whole world was waiting for a miracle, but it didn't happen. Instead of heroic confrontation, American resentment and the professionalism of the Arab Legion led to the fall of Tel Aviv and the methodical expulsion of the Jewish population. The victory was won, but it was only the beginning of a new, deeper tragedy. This is a story about people who find themselves hostage to triumph and exile.: Mahmoud Al-Shishani: Major of the Circassian Corps, war hero. His impeccable duty ("Dain wa Sharaf") earns him not fame, but a bronze cage: he is forced to guard empty houses in occupied Jerusalem, having lost his love and soul. 💔 Leila: A Palestinian refugee from the Al-Tarabin tribe. She sees how the Legion's victory does not bring freedom to her people, but only changes the occupiers. Leila's pain turns into steely determination, and she leaves for Beirut to become a soldier and leader of the radical underground. Ezra Halperin: A young Jewish fighter who miraculously escaped from Lod. In exile, he learns that his homeland was destroyed not by war, but by the president's personal grudge.
