Synopsis
In a MOMENT is a documentary portrait of Khawla, a woman from Gaza whose life changes after her workplace is destroyed during the ongoing genocide. With no other options, she turns to baking bread in a traditional clay oven to support her family. Through her daily routine, the film captures the quiet strength of a woman who carries dignity, resilience, and love for life despite immense loss.
