The film emphasizes the importance of simple values in daily life as family relations and friendship. The message of the film concerns the dignity of every human being, it brings hope and images of normal life in a world of desperation and ruins. Dreams of those children are worth living for and the power of their will and self-confidence can make unbelievable things happen. The songs of this successful young singer are also a metaphor of giving a voice to Palestinians.
