A beam of light falls from a projector onto a wall and makes footage from Al Zabadani in Syria visible. A still image shows a Syrian regime tank stationary in a city street at night. The tank explodes. Someone runs towards the flames and shouts: "That's beautiful!". Filmmaker Khaled Abdulwahed asks the protagonist who filmed the explosion. "Was this shot staged?" JELLYFISH is an experimental documentary about four Syrian so-called "citizen journalists" who talk about the war by and for images in the context of the Syrian uprising and war while watching footage they shot themselves.

The film was completed in 2016 and invited to the world premiere at the Berlinale Forum. However, at the request of some of the protagonists, who did not want to show the material publicly at the time, the director and producers decided not to release the film.
