In APPLICATION 39, two young IT workers in the municipality of Gaza hack the bid process for the 2048 Olympics as a prank - and win. Their "victory" becomes a surreal yet pressing journey through occupation, bureaucracy, absurdity, and reconstruction. Application 39 draws on real-life testimonies, including from Gaza itself, to pose a radical question: what if Gaza were no longer rubble and siege - but a site of global gathering, resistance and renewal?

Abigail is a homebody; Alice is preparing to leave the earth forever on a one-way mission to deep space. When the sisters rediscover the joy of being in each other's orbit, the concept of a goodbye becomes much harder than either of them anticipated. But the countdown has already started...
