Following the Baisanos, the passionate fans of Club Deportivo Palestino, a Chilean first-division football team founded in 1920, the film moves between two narrators who embody Chile and Palestine, reflecting on identity, the meaning of return, and the many ways of going back.

Andrés and Francisca Khamis Giacoman are siblings born into the Palestinian diaspora in Chile. They are third-generation descendants of a family originally from Beit Jala (on their father’s side) and Bethlehem (on their mother’s side). Their work seeks to explore and portray the nuances of the Palestinian diaspora in Chile. Baisanos is their first film working together as directors.
