Gaza, November 2023: Rania gives birth to triplets. One of the babies dies, while the surviving twins are evacuated to the south, separated from their mother, who remains trapped in the north.

Over sixteen months, the film follows the parallel lives of mother and twins. The children grow before the camera’s eye, taking their first steps and speaking their first words against a backdrop of explosions, moving from tent to tent, clinging to life and longing for their mother’s embrace. Rania, meanwhile, endures displacement, hunger and the aching wait for reunion, separated from her babies by military checkpoints and destruction.

Through intimate, real-time footage from both sides of Gaza’s military divide, Gaza’s Twins, Come Back to Me offers a rare dual portrait of survival and longing. This deeply human story is a testament to the enduring power of motherhood and family bonds.

London Palestine Film Festival (LPFF) presents its 2026 edition, bringing together some of this year’s most compelling new films, from UK premieres and Oscar-nominated titles to archival footage and retrospective screenings.

For over 25 years LPFF has aimed to create a vital space for stories that reflect the political realities and lived experiences of Palestinians, both at home and in the diaspora, through the creative lens of cinema.
